Hello, fellow CBR250r owner here and loving it. However, it seems just about everyone gets a better MPG than I am getting. I have about 1500 miles, broke in the first 500 miles with mild rpms no more than 7000. I put in 91 grade gas and test my mpg when I am commuting to work, so its basically all highway going 80mph at 9000rpm. Did my own oil change/filter change at 600 miles. Only mod that would matter is two brothers slip on.
I have to refuel when the tripometer reads 140ish. Now, I know I am not filling up all the way cause I always can only get 6/7 fuel bars to lite up when I try and fill up. On the other end, I refuel when the last bar is flashing when the bike is on the kickstand and stops flashing when straight. Now, even assuming I am only utilizing like 80% of the tank, thats 3.4gal x .8 = 2.72gal; 140miles/2.72gal = 51.5mpg.
This seem right? From reports 60-65mpg seems average, Im not even close to that. Input is appreciate, thanks.
