FWIW. I had a rental CRF250 in Vietnam in 2019 (don't know what year the bike was); but it was way more sluggish than my 250 Rally in the UK. Maybe because it was a rental and had been flogged to death; but the difference was night and day.

what octaine fuel do you use?
for some bikes its a waste of money ! BUT for others it does make them more peppy !! |

This was the displayed consumption following filling up with 97 octane/E5. Not sure if this is imperial or US gallons - one would expect imperial given that it's a UK market machine. |
All this desert riding has made me a bit obsessed with mpg.
I closely monitored my 300L on a long, slow UK ride the other day. Display: up to 103mpg True (+2.5% odo error corrected) 85.5 Following fill up after 220 miles: Display: 91 True: 90 All this assumes most UK pumps give a genuine litre. I have heard that bikes will return better mpg on E5. Whether it adds up on costs don't know, but will try some E5 on the next fill. Hoping to get a true 100mpg one of these days. Bike has a screen and around 1500 miles. Stock gearing and tyres. More here: https://adventure-motorcycling.com/2...idsummer-ride/ https://adventuremotorcyclinghandboo...0abrtrl-1.jpeg |
