Increase MPG's?

bump! I'm actually honestly really interested in what MPG you're getting wolfster

On the 570, I'm seeing about 35-37 MPG. Flogging the bike in open desert I see 35. Steady and slow on the trails, I get 37. There isn't much of a mileage variation between slow single track, or WTFO hare scrambles.

Now the bike was re flashed when I bought it since they threw on a Leo slip on, but I'm almost positive it was just to richen up a few points across the board.

Does the software allow to data log? Or tune only on a Dyno?

If I can data log, then the tuning could be endless, or at least until I break something.

I use a WEGO III, it logs TPS RPM and AFR

there is also the innovate unit

If you're talking about the ktm ust yes it does log a multitide of data but Ive never had success logging the afr with the factory wideband sensor, for this I used the wego and found that afr, tps and rpm were sufficient to tune my modified combination.

That's lower MPG than I've seen mentioned, for sure I'd think.

Anyone have any ideas what could be causing it?

Blockages in pumps / injectors, can they cause this? Slightly off sensors?

Could the accelerator pump setting have been squeezed up a little too high with the UST maybe?

Holy *****! that MPG is what my old RC51 got something is gotta be outta whack.

my 570 is a gas-guzzler! in 'Taff's racing season' at the beginning of 2011 I think it was I did a season opener on my new mo-sheen and ran out of fuel while leading in the morning. it was heavy going but it couldn't even do 1.5 hours.

in the afternoon it was drier and it finished with a litre to spare. my 400 could do the same with about 3 litres to spare. my record was over 4 hours racing if I recall on one 9 litre tank.

it's important to remember that I lambasted those that said that Fi was the be-all-and-end-all as I knew it wasn't. from the off it was going to be better yet this web site is littered with people with various DNS or DNF ailments and they don't even know where to start to look.

the bloody codes are a waste of time. they tell you, you have a problem but they don't tell you where you have a problem.

EFi might get better in the future, and that is the point, it has the potential to be a lot better.

I come from muddier climbs than most and when the bikes are wet and don't work WTF are you supposed to make of it in the middle of a forest?

Brilliant Fella.........

The codes are a waste of time they tell you where but not what. Holly crap that was the stupidest thing I have ever heard from a supposed bike technician?????
No codes on anything tell you what is wrong. Codes are meant to give the technician a direction to follow and an idea of what is failing. You then need to use your skill and training to follow a series of test to pinpoint the problem.

I just love these guys who think scan tools and flash codes tell you what you need to fix?? Your skill set is what finds the problem, not the code or tool.

I bet when you see an obd code, you just replace the part that shows on the scan tool and hope for the best. A piece of advise to you is to go to school and actually learn what the job of a tech is and how to do it.

funniest thing I have read by Taff who claims to have skill set ????????

Taffy again what one was the enduro tire and what was the mx tire? Got pictures of both the 90/90 21 and the 80/100 21 just cant seem to figure out what one is to go on my enduro?

Now Taffy I think we both have spent enough time with this stupid ego trip.
It is time we went back to actually helping others and spending our time in more productive ways.

I have the right just as you have to help users and give advise. I don't think I know everything but will comment on what I do and my with my opinion, even if you don't agree.

You nor I know everything and it don't matter how long or how many posts you have done, someone will always know more or something different. It does not make you an expert just because you have posted more and spent your whole life on a forum and I a new user to this site.

Bottom line is we can both help as well others who have excellent knowledge and great input. the end user is who can take all info received and put it together.

I really like reading the posts and educating myself as each day I learn something new or a different way to do something and that's great, this is what makes each day a new learning experience.

Truce or not, your call!

Two of you are going into the bush, but only one of you is coming out!

I am seeing a similar problem on my 2013 FE 501. I went from 46 mpg down to 33 mpg. I did discover after I threw a new top end in it that the TPS was cranked all the way to the right which put it at .800 on the meter.
