89 ???
Changed ignition and exhaust system, my best was 65...on flat.

 

[Panamera]

ok yeah it was how i was filling it up.
i filled up to max, sitting on bike.

took it from 65mpg to 80 now. i doubt ill make it to the gas station now though lmao

 

[TheMente]

Kept going with last bar flashing a did 398 kms with a tank.
I think this is awesome...tomorrow I will complete the fill up because only put 6.50 litres since the pump was closed and I didn't have spare money to put in the automatic...
(got the fourth bar anyway)

@panamera I am really glad you solved this!
Now enjoy your new mileage

mileage

I'm on my 7th tank and all have come out to about 88 mpg. About 3/4 highway and 1/4 city miles.

 

[lookout]

I've had my CBR for about 3 weeks. During those 3 weeks, I've put about 750 miles on it including a 303 mile ride last weekend. I've checked my mpg 3 times and have averaged 75, 79, and 77 mpg. I'm very happy and almost feel like I'm cheating the system!

 

[wafwaf]

I don't know in MPG but I was around 3 liters per 100 km with average speed between 90-120 kms /hour on various roads (highway, country roads and small twisty roads)
mods: air intake and higher windshield

That's the spirit. At 40mph, laying on the tank with the windscreen passing the wind just under the chin is very efficient and comfortable. It is only at higher speeds that it is necessary to try to get under the screen to keep the higher fuel economy.

When I first came to this forum sendler, I found your posts to most closely mirror my own observations. I have a local route that is almost exactly 40 miles round trip with something like 46 traffic lights. In my CVT 2002 Insight I could never quite break 80 MPG on that local route. I think on the CBR I could manage 90 MPG, maybe even a little better if I worked as hard as I did with the Insight. I also read you had an Insight as well.

Looking forward to more good info as you ride your CBR considerably more than I do mine.

Badger

I can't get any where near 80 in my insight as I am all highway at 70 mph. My best tank was 69 mpg US and my lifetime is around 62 but three months of the year I am slogging through slush which knocks me down to 56 mpg. The CBR250R is the first real highway ready motorcycle sold in the US that can finally beat my car so I bought the first one in town.

I get about 69 MPG, I don't think this should be a competition, the point is to get the average MPG with a average rider. I want to have fun when i ride, not think about keeping the RPM low and MPG high.

 

[Metalstorm]

Did the first real fill up today and got 68.9 mpg. Only 220 total miles on the bike so far so I'm expecting it to improve as the engine wears in more.
Though I will admit I was quite flabbergasted to see 68.9 mpg. The best mileage I've ever gotten out of anything I've owned was 45 mpg average on the Buell which was absolutely outstanding when compared to the 17 mpg of my Bronco II.

This little bike rocks.

Try 59 mpg going 75mph roughly hitting 7500rpm . The best part im 250#. btw in city driing im avg 76mpg. Impressive milege so far ive logged 1000 miles on the bike in 2 months.

hwy driving nets me aroung 60mpg...country road riding or slow city riding gives me on average 74mpg....I have 4 thousand miles logged so far...sound like we are just about on the same page average wise

 

[CBR250R]

On a 3200KM (2000 mile) camping/touring adventure on the CBR250R last year I consistently obtained 81 mpg (68 mpg U.S.) fully loaded with saddlebags, tailbag, and tankbag at a steady 65 mph on the highway in 6th gear.

This Fall I wanted to see how economical the CBR250R would be riding at around 65km/hr (40 mph) in 5th gear along some rural roadways. I obtained 105 mpg (88 mpg U.S.) under those conditions.

I am very happy with this fuel efficiency. Hard to imagine a bike that strikes a better balance of fun and fuel efficiency.

Now - off to shovel 6" of snow. I have about a foot of the white stuff in my yard now. At least the temps are agreeable - hovering close to freezing right now....

[Hoanghai96]

for my last ride i got 80-90 miles in two lines on the gas meter. it would've been one if not for the freaking big ass hills and traffic in seattle

 

[pricelister]

I ride it hard almost all of the time and get about 60. 3000 miles.
