Title: Sport quad fuel mileage ? Post by: 1Scorpion on May 14, 2011, 08:35:15 PM I know this is subject to ride style and how much wide open throttle.
But just trail riding not wide open on a unmodified sport quad like a ex300 or ltz400 about how far can you go ? I currently ride a ute and go about 75 miles and still have a quarter of a tank or less. I'm considering getting something sportier and lighter. Title: Re: Sport quad fuel mileage ? Post by: Ida_Mann on May 14, 2011, 08:55:07 PM before ATP got a hold of my 400EX and made it a ton faster, I used to get about 90 miles out of the tank before I hit the reserve tank,,,and I didn't exactly put put around, nor am I a small guy.
I find I get way less mileage out of my rubicon, I don't trust going more than 50 or so miles. Id@ Title: Re: Sport quad fuel mileage ? Post by: johndoe83 on May 15, 2011, 07:53:18 AM I never really got a mileage reading on my 400ex, once we went to ocala national forest, filled up the gas when we got there, rode 35miles on the GPS, checked our gas and my 400ex still had atleast a half tank, so I didnt worry about it the rest of the weekend.
That was with a 440kit, cam and extremely large jetts. Stock the mileage should be way better like IDA_Mann said espeacially on the 300ex. Title: Re: Sport quad fuel mileage ? Post by: yfz122 on May 15, 2011, 09:17:22 AM I have a YFZ and use a gallon per hour. I don't know how many miles.
Title: Re: Sport quad fuel mileage ? Post by: 1Scorpion on May 15, 2011, 12:54:02 PM Thanks guys, Now all I have to do is find the right used quad that I can afford. There's a 300ex not far from me and a couple of ltz400s . I just got to find the time and little more cash.

The 450R would go 4 times as far. Road WFO at River Ranch for at least 3 hours. Still had gas. Title: Re: Sport quad fuel mileage ? Post by: IRoostU on June 04, 2011, 06:48:21 PM I raced in a harescramble at Dirty Foot Adventures, approx.....44 miles on my 2007 LTR450. Finished the race with the low fuel light just coming on.

Like ShortBus HEMI said walking back cause I ran out of gas sucks ! It's not the cost of using a lot of fuel it's running out. I like to ride all day when I get to ride. And I enjoy riding the trails , I'm not a track rider. I know I'm not fast enough for that. I'm an old guy !Title: Re: Sport quad fuel mileage ?
