Are FZR 250s particularly known for high fuel consumption? Mine seems to guzzle it (I drive in the city a lot though). I've already ran out of petrol when I usderestimated how much the reserve tank has. Perhaps Im just surprised (I drove scooters for years) at how much fuel a motorbike needs. Im currently filling it after every 80kms or so. Is this normal?
i ride country/city and get 160 tank 30 reserve. i would suggest you are running rich. try cleaning the air filter and see what happens.
Sorry about my ingorance here, but how do I do this? This is my first bike, and I dont know very much about them. Thanks.
Take the tank cover off and you'll find the air box. Inside is the air filter, it can be accessed from the top. 4 screws if I remember rightly. If you have a foam filter you can wash the foam in clean petrol and then lightly oil it. If its a paper elelment try blowing it gently with compressed air. If it doubt replace it. they're not expensive.
just do a search for fuel consumption or something similar, there are heaps of fixes. Someone asked this question just the other day.
