Fuel Mileage

2018 137 with maxx spool 17. I ride pretty Aggressive and I was suprised to see 135 miles to a tank. Not sure how much more it had.That’s really good on a 8.9 tank. Wish they would of kept the 10 gallon tank. Love these machines! What awesome power!!! Nothing close!
 

8.9 ...How many usable canadian liters :) will the tank hold ? 38 or 33

Burp it after initial fill up and you can put another 1/2 - 3/4 gallon more in it.
Emptied my gas tank so I could put some fresh in at the beginning of this season. Was still able to run it so that I could load it in my trailer. Took 9.8 US gallons.

If I ride aggressive, 13sh. If the trails are hard and fast and I stay out of the throttle, 15-16.

Nowhere near the Nytro mpg, but then again, the Nytro is nowhere near a Winder mph, stock for stock!!

Mmm.... yet to fill mine up from empty. Everywhere I read say 8.9 us gallon??? Have to watch the pump at fill up. Hope 9.8 is right?

Liters are not Canadian, they are universal. Its the metric system. More systematic, easier to use and the same all over the world. Thats why most of the world uses it. My spec sheet says 8.9 U.S gallons and or 33 liters which is about 7.3 Imperial gallons. A Canadian sled will get better miles per gallon, but doesnt hold as many gallons :confused: lol
 
Did my offset with the Hurricane tool, my only change this year. Just got back from a trip with my Apex. My Winder used 1/2 to 3/4 gallon less on every fill. First time that’s ever happened. Evo stage 4. Got right at 15mpg.
 
I will add....after the last 2 days of riding lots of big trails and lakes. I put in less or same as my buds 600r G4 etec. Which is typically amazing on MPG. We do find the 600 gets far far less MPG on lakes and wide open trails then it will in tight stuff.

Pretty funny to be running 270hp and putting in less fuel then his 600...Gotta love these turbos. And not to mention Dave's latest version of 240 tune, still ultra snappy down low as its a early spool Race version, but now it will NOT EVEN SHOW KNOCK LITE when held WOT, and I only run 87 octane all weekend, so Im actually spending less dollars then the 600r which is running premium...lol


1000kms on new offset and Ultimax, barely ZERO belt dust.

How cold was it when you were running with the 600G4? Good to hear Winder is not fussy on lower octane as some places its all thats available.
 
I could not ever bring myself to put 87 in my sled, or in any of my toys for that matter :O I will risk running out of fuel getting to the next gas station instead of putting 87 lol
 
Found a station that I normally fill up at was out of fuel with so many machines through so I had to go another 15 miles and ended with 139 miles on and it was on fumes. Took 2 litres less that what capacity of tank. Won't do that again. 130 max and hope from there! I am getting 12-13 mpg so on par with my 1100 as the 1100 was also on fumes coming in with me. Conditions play a big role as we hit big open trails I can run 60-70 mph and get 15+ mpg.

I get 10 to maybe 11 U.S. mpg and it doesn't matter how I ride thing is a pig. Got a hurricane 240 flash and free flowing muffler and that didn't help one bit. Something is clearly wrong with my sled I'd say. And if ifs 2600 miles on it now and stock or flashed it sucks gas.
