Howdy all,
I just purchased a '99 Kawasaki ZX-9R and am experiencing very poor gas mileage from it. The bike has relatively high miles (31,000), but still runs very smoothly. I just filled up and calculated my MPG to be just over 20...Now my last bike (Yamaha FZR) was getting upwards of 40 mpg, and I had heard that the Kawasakis got similar.
But, 20 mpg simply can not be right. I havent been out there red-lining it all ride long either, I keep the tach between 3 and 7.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem? Or where to start looking to solve it?
Thanks.
