Normal fuel consumption?

[RadoTP]

Hello,

i have DRZ400E, 440ccm athena kit, no 3x3, orig FCR 39 carb, exhaust from civil DRZ400S (quite and heavy 👍 ) and my fuel consumption is 8,1l / 100km (2,4gal / 62miles).

... It's in normal or it's too much?

45 mpg for me. Stock bore, exhaust and carb work....ride it like I'm trying to use gas.

The stock BSR for the SM will get much more mileage.

I get 46MPG on my DRZ400E commuting to work.

Do you know what jetting is in your carby ? Was the S pipe a euro model ? ( the big torpedo ?) If you have an E then you should have a 3x3 std , if not remove the rubber snorkel and rejet the bike . A few of the things you have mentioned could make your bike way too rich if it isnt jetted to suit , greg

Pipe is probably euro version (look like on picture). Yes, i have 3x3, but i bought the rubber snorkel for higher fordability. I absolutely dont know what jetting is in my carb 👍. I bought drz some months ago and it's 7 years old.

Do you know which jetting is optional for this combination? Snorkel can be pulled out, but then i hope it doesn't suck in some water🤣

I had the same concern... I did this and its great, just a few more filters to clean...

Rado , did you have the bike rejetted , when you put in the snorkel and put on the tailpipe . If the the bike wasnt , it will be running very rich . The snorkel will reduce airflow into the carby and the tailpipe will reduce gasflow out of the motor , so that could be a major factor in your fuel consumption , greg

I have a 2007 stock DRZ SM (new to me!) and in the first 2 tanks of gas I've gotten 60 mpg on the nose. I'm doing 55-65 in general, some but not much city streets.
