eco mode

[2kwacks]

As anyone worked out how much saving there is when using the eco mode? I confess I've not used it much not that I can't be botherd, more like I forget I've got it..lol. anyway! rememberd I had it the other day, so thought I would give it a try at a steady 4,000 revs in O/D on the straite, and a fine day! it seemed to be averaging between 59 to 62 m.p.g would you say this was about right, just courious if this reading is accurate.

Hi,

10-15% at 4000rpm in OD/6th is about 85-90mph and does 51-52mpg. Go over 90 and the MPG starts dropping slowly.

Go faster than that and the 4500rpm - VVT cuts in and she likes to drink..... Don't expect to get more than 40-43mpg.

That's with the ECO mode on, if you don't, she will drink more and you most probably won't get above 150miles out of the tank.

Just my opinion...

Ps. As I said before, 250+ miles out of the tank is possible, but you'll be on fumes.

I have never had the eco off since i have had the bike for 2 months now, at the moment i am achieving 49mpg.

Commuting to London - 55mile with 17mile of filtering (M25 inwards), and the same on he way out, over 2weeks without resetting - I'm on 51.6mpg, that's a top speed of about 70mph +10% +2 ish..  ;-) where possible.

Best I've had out of the bike....... Due to local mileage to work previously.

Needless to say - I'm over the moon about it. :-)

What's ECO mode?   

One thing I have done which you guys may or may not know....

I was adjusting the clock and went into the settings menu and realised that the fuel consumption/average was set to US gallons.  When I reset it to UK metrics, i seem to be getting a lot more MPG and it takes longer for the fuel low warning to start flashing!!! lol

4,000 revs in O/D or if you prefer 6th gear is a "indicated" 86 m.p.h. on the clock! or so I,ve heard "officer" to be honest I've not botherd checking the m.p.g! if it needs fuel I just fill the sod up. seeing that's the only alternative to pushing the heavy sod around but your estimate seems spot on I seem to get approx 175 miles on a full tank before the anoying "LOW FUEL" warning starts doing my swede in

With the exception of short local journeys I always ran our later GTR in ECO mode. As you may have seen in another post the range increased by about 10%. I've no idea what the MPG was.

I've yet to test my new one but on the old one I could easily get 56-58mpg consistently.

That would mean you were consistently getting 275 miles out of a 22l tank? 
I just can't believe that. 
You're sure you're riding a GTR and not one of these  ?

You obviously haven't ridden with LW. I'm surprised he ever has to fill up! 

[Lonewolf]

mecki, what I meant was that when I went out for a jaunt on the steed and I zeroed the average mpg readout, at the conclusion of my ride, invariably it would show an average mpg of 56-58. I wouldn't necessarily empty a tank on each ride and you have to understand that its an average mpg, not a constant mpg, if that makes sense?
This was at the end of a 500 mile trip.



And this was at the conclusion of a shorter trip.

I have to confess, he kids you not. 

[Dive1082]

Are you pushing it along?

Steve goes so slow that when we stop for a break he cleans flies from the BACK of his helmet.

About 47 MPG over 190 miles on trip to lakes at weekend trying to stay in high gear in eco mode and double figure speeds keeping up with 600cc sports bike leader
