I have a yamaha 1200 XLT and I noticed that the time I get on it is very short before I go thru a full tank of gas. Does anyone have any tips of getting better gas mileage?

Re: Gas mileage

I was once told when I was buying my 1200, "When looking at a 1200, if you ask about fuel mileage, you don't want it"!<br /><br />The only thing I know to tell you is to back off the throttle! The difference in fuel consumption is remarkable between 2/3 throttle and wide open!

Re: Gas mileage

You must be in the throttle hard all day. any ski will guzzle gas if you ride it wide open I can cruise at 40 mph on my gtx and its great but if I run wide open the fuel goes down fast, so if you want to play you gotta pay.
