"My best mileage is in town at 50mph in 6th gear, 36mpg.
Anything above 50mph and the mileage just gets worser and worser."

lol


I get MABEY 25 in town ,just cant stop the twisting action in throttle. Just a big show off. And funner too.

My hubby is only getting 20mpg but its all in town driving. I think part of his problem is he will literally start his bike a dozen times a day just to play with it. He just got it last week so I can' understand, I guess.


What can he do to get better gas mielage?

I got 38.8mpg on my swap bike last tank. After a night at the drags that drops into the low 20's . The ZG1000 6th gear is sweet for highway cruising and mileage, but you have to be going above 70 if you want to keep the revs above 4k.

My zl1000 gets around 38 mpg as well
