Uf21 Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 ^^ what he said. Normal. You should go through a full tank in 2 hours or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaegerEliminator Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 35-45 minutes of hard riding and I will burn through a full tank of VP C12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdod101 Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Crazy, a full tank lasts me like 4 - 5 hrs of hard riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

special06shee Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Your banshee is stock. No way a banshee with any mods is going 4-5 hours of hard riding.agreed.. What people tend to forget is that just because they spend a whole day out on the trails, doesnt mean they are riding. On average a day of "riding" probably means they rode for 2-3hrs. Stoping to b.s., eating lunch ect.. Does not count as riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic Monkey Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I do about 30 to 35 miles in a tank. But I'm idling in 6th while everyone on their 4 pokes are winding their shit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baker Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 Enough crying about mileage, buy a bigger fuel tank or smaller motor. Like said before its smiles per gallon on these bikes, buy a 4poke if u cant afford gas and oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
