Thinking of gettin a phazer for my wife .What are you guy getting for gas mileage on the phazer do you have to run Premium Unleaded in those . i see they say to on the yamaha site except for the gt, I dont understand why you dont in the gt
 

FX hard groom trail riding 17.1 mpg. 600SDI I was with avg'd 20 mpg.
spinning 11,000 plus rpm must eat some gas
Running premium
You have to work hard to run Phazer at speed. Tippy in corners.
Blast to ride, excellent in the rough. But not a groomed trail high speed sled, glad I still have my Apex.
 
The GT doesn't seem to have that tippy in corners issue. But it's also set up more for trail use.
 
I have not checked the Mtn. Lite but I know its good on gas. I guess I have to measure more by gallons per hour. I do alot of off trail and the gage goes down very little. Sorry I can't give solid numbers but Fuel milage has not been a worry for Me.
 
Mileage has been around 18-20 on FX. Before totaling his last weekend a friend said he was getting around 22. He rode hard on and off, full throttle (guess thats why he recked) I dont know why he did better mileage than me. Maybe cause he had a thousand more miles?
 
I have a MTN. Lite and with stock gearing 17:41 it was averaging 12.5 MPG and with the low elevation kit 19:41 it's averaging 13 MPG. I run alot of high RPM powder riding probably 75% of the time. Also run premium fuel to this point. I will be trying regular milage check soon.
 
I have an FX and have been getting 20+ mpg. The only time I paid attention, we had gone 60 miles and I had only put 2.5 gallons in.
