Perhaps. I just find it amusing as I wouldn't go to a German website and act confused when things are discussed using the metric system

Alex, I have an idea, before the youtube button can be used a ninjette member will be prompted to take a training course and pass a series of tests. Once the tests have been completed with a 100% success rate then the youtube button will be enabled.

I'm running this bike in the 6k to 10k range. It seems happier in these lower ranges compared to the 250, that was really only usable when riding swiftly if you kept it in the 8k - 12k range. I'm finding that the bike seems to have very little engine braking, probably because I am running with the revs a little lower than I used to.
You have the right impression.

Last two tanks now have seen avg of 62-65 mpg since I have commenced flogging tactics. I am sure the mpg will continue to fall at this rate. I have adjusted my vote accordingly.

And it's about time you stopped all this talk about bike made anywhere else but America. Discussions of foreign motorcycles will only confuse real Americans. And what's with all this 250 stuff? What's a cc.? Probably an unAmerican unit of measure that has infiltrated into the lexicon through the devious efforts of linguistic terrorists.
Be afraid. very afraid. And now, for FoxNews, good night and tune in tomorrow... if were lucky enough to keep the sun revolving round the Earth. |

Although, Alex, I am beginning to wonder if the difference between the CA version and the 49 state version affects mileage numbers. I honestly can't imagine being much harder on the bike than I was (gas wise) that first tank, and it was well over 50 (54.8). Would that be strange, to have the CA version fare worse?

CA emissions + CA gas do knock it down a few points, but not as much as one might think.

93 gets worse mileage and power than 87

Would a couple dyno runs on a ninja 1000 with both grades of gas satiate your ignorance?

I have a question for you, what does higher octane do?

Oh lord here we go....
Increasing octane raises the flashpoint and slows the burning process of gasoline If an engine does not have high enough compression to require higher octane there will be no improvement and it may in fact be harder to start and less effecient. Premium fuel is a waste in an engine that does not require it. If you have the ability to tune your setup you will be able to run more ign with higher octane levels making for better performance and fuel economy if tuned correctly. To make a blanket statement that more octane means less performance and fuel economy is ignorant. As stated above if you plan to only add additional octane with no adjustment to the tune then yes you "could" expect to see anywhere from gains, to no gains, to nothing noticeable. All of that depends on the motor setup. |

Fantastic! You know what you are talking about yet continue to use 93. Mind boggling.
Here's those stats I promised you for a ninja 1000 93 octane no ethanol 112.6hp and 67.1ft lbs 87 octane 10% ethanol 117.5hp and 71.2ft lbs Now yes they are different engines with similar compression and they both run on 87 but I'd expect a similar result with the ninja 250. Likely the ninja 300 as well.

Different engines? I am sure different days, different temps....mods?..... And so on...those stats are worthless sorry. Making an edit..... I believe your reference to different engines is the 1000 vs 300. If this is the case was the 1000 stats the same bike same day? Or different day...? Temps play a lot with this so seeing that little of margin on a 1000 cc bike is not uncommon. I have run my car on the same Dyno different days but same temps and gotten differences as you have shown. In my opinion it doesn't show a lot although I agree that if the 1000 was not tuned then it "may" make less power but kind of odd it did. |

Same bike different day, temperature difference of 5 degrees.
So you're telling me the 5 degree difference killed off 5hp? Das crazy mang Also, I'd be very surprised if the ECU was capable of such acute changes without an O2 sensor. How exactly would it know?
