CRM on Manoeuvres

Post by xander77 » 20 Apr 2010, 17:33

Third ride out on the CRM and it continues to impress me, so many seem to go for full on enduros out on the trails (maybe they race them as well) but out on the lanes the CRM does what it say`s on the tin!! seems to grip where others slip!!
What do you people get to a tank full, KPH wise as thats what my speedo is in?
Thanks
Jack

There's about 2 and 1/4 Ltrs in reserve, on the Mk2, gearing will make a significant difference to your KPL.

I will second FMtB on this.

I went with Mike on a run last summer and whilst I had 13/45 gearing and lower overall gearing as I have Mk1. I used just over 7 litres when we stopped for fuel, whilst Mike with 14/45 and taller overall gearing used just over 5 litres. Some of that could be due to riding style but I think I am fairly conservative as far as fuel consumption goes.

Seems about right, I have 13/45 gearing and so far I ahve had 140Km without going on reserve, have to say I am riding it fairly steady!
