You know whats amazing about the 7 AND 8 Dragons?

Fuggin fuel mileage. Awesome!

How many miles/gallon, miles/tank?

 

[Ollie]

No chit. I used to get about 50-60 miles on a tank of gas with my old sled. Now I get back and have half a tank left.

 

[410Fortune]

I am a bit new to this, I am used to my 2 stroke jet skis sucking up the gas...

I am amazed that our EFI 05 900's will run all day long, then the next morning at the pump take 3 gallons each, oh wait I put 6.5 gallons in mine last Saturday because I rode all weekend long.

Too bad the electronic gage sucks, reads empty when I calculate 4 gallons left

 

[bent twig]

Me too! I thought it was just me, or the gauge was off. Come to think of it I don't think I have used more than 1/2 a tank. unbelievable...........

 

[PooSlinger]

How many miles on your D8 now Dave?

 

[coyoteman]

no kidding, my tripple would run out on a long day. now I run out on a long day, not the sled. don't think i have ever burned more than a half tank a day.

 

[Gone Sleddin]

kind of suprised to read this, my 05 800 was i mizer compared to the new dragon 8. im not complaining as i still can make it a day on a tank but it takes noticeably more than my 05 and took at least a gallon or more a day than my dad's dragon 700.

Dont buy a 600 HO carb and expect that

Please tell me your 900 EFI is not a cat. On a powder day I'm getting 45-50 tops out of mine.

05 900 IQ RMK 159 Poo, 2ea

see my sig

 

[John]

Ah, I didn't see that and really wanted to know the secret.

I hear that. I noticed my RMK 600 when it was pretty bad when it was stock. Then I put the 660 on it and it was even worse - getting 5-6 mpg at best, no matter how I rode it.

We'll see what a M6 turbo gets for mileage very soon - guessing it wont get over 5 mph

 

[RX1Guy]

something must be wrong with my friends Dragon 700 then because my supercharged rx1 took 2 gallons less at the end of the day, and i did much more hillclimbing.

aint it the truth on the 660. There are many days where I've been rolling back to the trailer on fumes wondering if I will make it before I run out.

Oh well, its still a hoot

 

[XC700116]

I know my 05 700 drinks it as fast as I can fill it. I ride with an 07 d7, and 08 switch 7, and an 07 mxz 800 renegade and they all laugh at me when I pull up to the pump. but the nitrous will have me laughing on the hill!!!!

??

rode the chit out of my d8 on sunday, put 70+ miles on and loaded it on the trailer on res. , i was wondering about the oiling, this thing uses a 1/3 less than my 03 edge 800?

This is the good side of the EPA. Cut down on emissions = cleaner, better burning engines. End user benefits.

Forget to mention that. D8 uses less oil than Im used to as well.

Pooslinger I have about 220miles now.
