My 93 RS gets THE worst gas mileage- EVER.
I'm thinking maybe 37-39 MPG at best. This past summer, I took a weekend ride up to the Adirondaks with some buddies- two 84 R100RSs and another guy on a 73 R75/5.
I'd be on reserve, and everybody else would still have plenty of gas left- even (especially) the guys on 84 Last Edition RSs, with their 40mm carbs. The guy on the /5 with his dinky toaster tank was still rolling plenty of fuel when I hit reserve. Oh BTW, the guy leading the "charge" was riding
F-A-S-T! So, let's say we were totally flogging the daylights out of the bikes. And those guys all got WAY better mileage than me.
My bike gets crappy MPGs no matter if I flog it or dog it. wtf.
Anyone have any comments, input, suggestions, or
knowledge about a possible reason for this?
