Anyone know if the second set of injectors is no all the time, or if it comes on at a certain RPM? I bet that just HAMMERS the MPG...
Certain RPM. I can't remember the range.

I've heard that they kick on at 5500 rpms. Can't remember where I read it though.
The 2nd injectors kick in at 8000rpms I believe. I've gone 200 miles on a tank, all freeway, constant 65-70mph.

me too, I think CV stated it one time in one of his threads.
Second set kicks in at 10,000 RPM

How is this possible???? I'm not calling you a liar but I have done some pretty tame long freeway runs at about 70MPH and still couldn't beat 155 before having to fill up.

B-T-W I typically fill up at about 115 just to be safe and the tank usually looks close to empty.

Good find, I knew it sounded right when you stated it before.

so THATS why that guy was saying he drives around at like 7k rpms all the time, he wants to be cool and have his second set of injectors pulsing. see, if he would have said that at the start, it would have made perfect sense. :laughing1

It may look empty but, how many gallons are you putting in? How many gallons did you put in after the highway stint?

All years, this is off an '03 review.

"at 5500 RPM the Computer activates both fuel injectors to boost top-end power (under 5500, the top injector is shut down, which is how Honda avoids the low-speed, low-gear snatchiness prevalent in so many other machines, like the Suzuki GSXRs"

how much fuel is in the lines? i go about 130 miles before i fill up and i usually put 3.6-3.8 gallons in.
Tank is abouty 3.7 gallons. I once got 180miles on the tank.

In one of the mag reviews,when they add in all the factory mumbojumbo,it said 10,000.I don't remember the one since this was back in 03.

when you look into the tank you cant see the part of the tank that sits under the seat. go by the fuel you put in, not what you think you see.

fwiw, I dont think I ever got better than 35mph. I dont rememer exactly but I think I get 130-140 out of a tank, till flashing. To be honest, I stopped looking long ago.
I ride my bike everywhere now and spent a good deal of time watching my mpg. During the week when commuting to work and back (a total of 60 miles per day), I average 45mpg. The weekend in the mountains with more aggressive riding, it easily drops to 35mpg.

Both a sizable drop from the 55mpg I get on my GS500E. :beer:

Mine's an '04 - states either 5,000 or 5,500 - can't remember which though.

220 mi. is B.S. - I get ~150-160 and I ride my bike fairly easily. I could maybe squeeze 180 out of mine, but that would be REALLY pushing it.

thats why I only get 35...all I do is canyons.
yeah, I used to get 55mp+ even when I'd flog the gs in the canyons...
