Does eveyone's shee suck on gas?

[Boominrick]

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

[shanYE west]

Yeah.. 2-3 passes on the drag track and its drinks 1/2 tank... lol gotta love alky.

[jamebo]

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!

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

check your bike for a leak.

i agree peterlocal22, shees are gas guzzlers but not that fast. I'm still on stock carbs and it drinks, i'm scarred to see what its like when i go to some big boy carbs

My shee's leak more than they burn i think. damn vents spew when i turn hard.

[Bansheeb0y5505]

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

Might want to check your float heights..

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 ,

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!

[kawiking]

what mods are done to ur bike, boom

[Hilarious]

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.

[jamebo]

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.
