  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

AA Class
Measured the fuel I used a week ago on a ride with Kelly at Hood River and was thrilled with the results- 32.67 MPG with the Lectron and 165 kit. This in singletrack and riding relatively hard. UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE- awesome mileage. I just might put my stock tank back on.....006.JPG
 
33 mpg the first time out for me when the wr was a 250. Tight s t 5to 10 mph avg.36mm.
 
I have been averaging between 35 and 38 mpg for the last 8 days of riding straight.:thumbsup: Some open fast stuff but mostly 1st-3rd gear rock crawling. Pritchard canyon, Sovereign Trail, and a bunch of single track in San Rafael Swell and Rabbit Valley. Yet to get less than 35 averaging 45-50 miles per day.:cheers:

Which bike wallybean? When I took a spin on the WR250 and then my TXC511 I was quickly reminded how much thirstier that carbed 250 is than my EFI bikes.

That is really good milage but HR is semi flat compared to the coast range or Gifford where you should get more like 28. I have noticed 4-6 MPG better with the Lectron carb which is huge and means 15 more per tank. Did a 76 mile ride Sunday in slick steep coast range stuff. Need to check but looks like i have about a half gallon left. BTW I thought your bike ran really good so it does not seem setup lean.

165 With Lectron right? You guys are getting really good milage, a little better than me with the same setups.

they really are. My EFI TE511 gets very good milage. Easily 10 more MPG than my 165 while making 2x the power.

It is my 165 with the Lectron. The best mileage to date was 38.8 mpg riding a combination of tight single track and open single track with maybe 5 miles of road work at the end to get back at Rabbit Valley. Total miles 47.7 and used just over a gallon(1 gal. 19 oz.) 50:50 tight to open single track.
 
Wow you guys make my good milage look bad. I'm happy with what I get and cant believe what you guys are getting.
 
Haven't figured it out yet, but I'm getting WAY better mileage with the Lectron than I was with the PWK36. I was netting a whopping 16mpg with the Keihin, but I believe it will be closer to 30 when I do calculate the mileage.

I was running out of gas around 52 miles with the pwk and now I have about 1/3 tank left after 60 miles. I dont have hard numbers, but it was a huge improvement.
 
No point in me posting my mpg as a US gallon is different to a imperial gallon. But I made 78 miles before hitting reserve on a stock tank but to be fair I was being a bit gentle with the bike as I just fitted a nice new top end (cheers Walt)

Which tank??
 
I rode my 09 with a well jetted Keihin airstriker today and the difference is significant in performance and mileage. Damn near half the mileage and lost all the smoothness and instant throttle response of the Lectron. Lots of wonderfully fun single track at Chimney Rock in the Swell.
 
I did a 1 1/2 hour hare scramble on Sunday with my WB165/Lectron/200 pipe, and used about 1 gallon. That seems a lot compared to what all of you are getting. The bike ran great the entire time...the plug looks slightly on the rich side. My PJ is at one turn out.
Does the fuel consumption seem high to your guys?

Where I ride that would be 40-60 miles....so sounds fine to me

No.

also try turning the PJ in (leaner) and see what happens. I have found most like a leaner setting with the MS3 rod at least.

I have the MS3 rod but have not tried it yet. I will go leaner on the PJ and give it a test. Thanks

The OP, Blake, I think Walt and myself are all running the MS3 rod. It is leaner of the bottom and richer on the top. Run that with a leaner PJ setting and get great mileage.
