You need to proceed to dealer and demand they repair so you can achieve the correct 238 miles/tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 My wife tells me I was born to burn gas, trucks, boats, sleds.... gas is just an incidental cost of the enjoyment. The day I leave the boat at the dock or the sled on the trailer because of concerns over the cost of gas is they day I quit living. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only time I pay attention to gas is when the gauge is getting low and I need to find a place to fill up. Or as you suggested if you're in a room full of people.

But that sled stopped being the choice of long distance riders when they shrank the tank to 9 gallons. My old 1200 was harder on fuel but I could out distance Di because of tank size. She can out distance my Turbo but I'm using the throttle way more now than I used to. I don't know why, but it has been proven time and time again, that the carbed models are better on gas than the newer fi ones. I think Yamaha downsized the tank some just to make the other's feel better they weren't the only ones needing fuel. It does suck, truthfully, waiting for others to fill up when you just want to continue riding. On 3/21/2017 at 9:59 PM, Dave said: A sled mag that gets sponsorship $ isnt very credible. Real world experience here, and that article is spot on. I seriously don't know if my sled would break 200 miles, but I am willing to bet it would. 23 hours ago, Blackstar said: My comfortable range was always 120 miles. I did go 135 once because I thought the truck was closer than it was and I didn't want to backtrack for fuel. Di made it too. She was in my head set constantly saying "I'm running out, I'm running out" because it kept flashing on her screen. And I'm saying "we have lots of fuel, relax".....lol She was virtually empty. I still had 4-5 liters. With my Turbo, I'm now down to a 100 mile range with comfort. I have experienced that too, but have read many times, there is at least another 25 to 40 miles of fuel remaining once the light starts flashing or you are down to one bar. Like I mentioned above, I'd love to see someday just how far I could go on a tank. That, and to actually see if the 25 to 40 thing is true as well. 11 hours ago, smokin george said: Not worried about gas mileage.

It's a great feeling knowing you will be the last guy to need/run out of gas during a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
