Let's talk about highway fuel efficiency!
Hey everyone, I'm hoping to get some input on my Himalayan 450's mileage. I'm currently running a W2S air filter and a FuelX Pro+ (usually set to fuel map 10 for the better response), along with stock engine oil.
I tend to ride pretty hard on the highway—usually cruising around 110-120 kmph, which is actually faster than how I ride my Interceptor. At those speeds, I'm only getting about 22-23 kmpl, and it even dropped down to 20 kmpl on a recent stretch where I was cruising above 120. I'm meticulous with my tire pressures and maintenance, so I know the bike is in top shape.
I see folks regularly getting 26+ kmpl on the highway, so I'm trying to narrow down the cause.
Do you guys think the drop in efficiency is mostly from the high cruising speeds, or is the richer FuelX map to blame? Would love to hear your thoughts!
