CFMoto 450MT index page

Fuel consumption on my CFMoto 450MT from new. I’ve yet to work out if the odometer reading is accurate against a GPS. The tank is a claimed 17.5 litres. The speedo shows a better-than average 5-7% over reading. Click the table right to convert UKmpg or kpl to other formats.

First reading at a true 73mpg was a bit poor considering the running-in speeds I was dawdling at but it never really improved. The bike’s L/100km/mpg read-out is up to 10% optimistic than the true figure, but it becomes more accurate as the mpg improves, same as the speedo reads more accurately at higher speeds (<3% over; see image below).
In the UK I’m still not convinced E5 is more economical than E10 which is 10% cheaper. But I suspect running-in on the higher octane E5 was a good idea before filling with E10. In southern Morocco I get the feeling Unleaded is only E5. Here the bike is wide at the front and carrying 15kg but mpg has generally improved. Tyres @ 30psi road or trail and speeds are rarely over 100kph for long.

Average @ 7000km: 24kpl – 68UKmpg – 56.6US
