Yeah that was one of the first things I noticed when I got mine. It has the worst gas milage of any atv I've ever had....... however, definitely worth the extra cost of gas, though!

my shee is a gas guzzler! One 10 min trip down the road and a quarter tank is gone! LOL is this normal?

 

 

10 minute trip should not be drinking a 1/4 tank.

check your bike for a leak.

Banshee's are hogs..

 

When we go riding, my dads banshee alone sucks up about 7 gallons by the end of the day. Just bolt on mods with proper jetting too.

 

it's crazy.

 

But, like the saying goes, suckin gas and haulin ass

You definately have a problem. I can get 5 to 6 hours of non stop riding on a tank of fuel and I got a 492. I'd start by checking float height.

When I had the keihin 35 mms and filled up the tank I rode a coulpe of laps around the block and the tank atleast looked half empty :huh: ,

but totally I got maybe an hour on a full tank.

After switching back to OEM cabs I get maybe twice that... would say between 2 h and 3 h is normal depending on riding style

Check your plugs for correct jetting and that the reeds close fully, if you don

I am always the first one in the group to hit reserve. My buddy rides an 06 and he can go a lot longer than I can. I have a 6 pack rack and sometimes I think I need to use it to carry an extra gallon of gas!

2 strokes are notorious for consuming more fuel

than 4 strokes. there are twice as many power strokes

thus more power. so its going to use a bit of fuel.

IMO if you are concerned with fuel consumption, you

need to look at something other than a banshee.

i can get a couple of hours of mild to hard riding on a tank. with 34PJ's and pods. ported too. when riding hard all the time. i use about 3/4 a tank to my friends YFZ used only about 1/4 i dont thank thats too bad.

I MIGHT get a couple on mine, but a tank sure goes by fast. My fuel injected Raptor goes around three to three and a half hours before the fuel light comes on. Now that's estimates on each one, I don't have meters on them and never really timed them out..... but a tank seems to go a whole lot further on the 700.
