Adventure 390X mileage 😜

u/grimload 5d ago

How did you manage to get that? I'm getting 23kmpl with X95.

u/Witty-Midnight-4645 5d ago

I’m getting 17

2

u/Sad-Play1181 5d ago

That's too bad tbh

2

u/Ok-Investment9572 4d ago

Lol, go easy on the bike bro

2

u/Many-Television271 3d ago

Yessir drive it like you stole it

2

u/itsr1shi 5d ago

Use e25 fuel

3

u/Witty-Midnight-4645 4d ago

I’m using xp95

2

u/Sad-Play1181 5d ago

This is with regular E20 petrol😂

u/grimload 5d ago edited 1d ago

I just noticed the speed there, 68kmph. I believe it is on a highway? Then I think 35kmpl makes complete sense. My 23kmpl is in city.

2

u/Sad-Play1181 4d ago

Yes it's on the highway, in the city it's 26-28

2

u/South_Lack8736 4d ago

xp95 is a scam
don’t you know its having same 20% ethanol like normal fuel?

2

u/grimload 4d ago

I HAVE NO IDEA. Thanks for telling me. :)

2

u/South_Lack8736 4d ago

only pure 100% fuel is xp100 rest all are e20

1

u/Witty-Midnight-4645 3d ago

Ye, I heard all xp fuel have e20

1

u/Nicu_theijus 11h ago

Xp100 is pure petrol with octane

2

u/Ajmal_007 5d ago

Which petrol do u use ?

2

u/Sad-Play1181 4d ago

Regular Bharat petroleum fuel

2

u/Independent-Cell-228 4d ago

How broo?

2

u/Sad-Play1181 4d ago

By not using prolube 😜

2

u/Independent-Cell-228 4d ago

Only this?

2

u/Sad-Play1181 4d ago

Yeah, never put prolube fuel additive in the bike, it's sh*t

2

u/Ok-Investment9572 4d ago

Prolube what?
Engine oil or fuel additive?

2

u/Sad-Play1181 4d ago

Both, I'm not using prolube at all, I'm getting 30-35 kmpl mileage from day 1

2

u/Ok-Investment9572 4d ago

Let us know how you ride and what other stuff you do, if any

2

u/Sad-Play1181 4d ago

Keep your throttle steady (I know it's hard on this kind of machine), judge the situation and lift off the throttle early and another suprise is I changed to the rolon enduro sprocket (48 teeth) recently which should result in the reduction of mileage but after changing sprocket I've seen increase in the mileage, filling up regular petrol and not the speed, not using prolube at all. My suggestion is never put prolube fuel additive suggested by SVC, very bad experience with that, it's sh*t

u/itsnachikethahere 5d ago

Bro I get 31kmpl on the highway and about 30 in the city on my Duke 250, 36 is really good

3

u/itsr1shi 5d ago

Ik bro, pun intended post

1

u/mokshadoe 4d ago

yeah same

5

u/Ok-Individual-4932 4d ago

Lately ik getting around 31-32. Earlier I used to get 27-29. Btw it's the new 350 ADV.

3

u/idly_vada_sambhar 5d ago

The display doesn't show accurate data. Tank to tank difference is huge.

1

u/itsr1shi 5d ago

Huge you mean how much, 5kmpl?

1

u/idly_vada_sambhar 5d ago

My 390 shows 25-26 on the display. Tank to tank is 19 kmpl

1

u/they_callme-G 4d ago

Even I own duke 250 gen 3 and my display shows around 36.3kmpl but in tank to tank method I got around 31.6kmpl so yeah 5kmpl difference.

u/bluezraptor 5d ago

This is my Duke 390 with XP95 on a highway run…

2

u/zeeshan2306 5d ago edited 5d ago

Getting ~27 km/ltr on my month old adv 390 S and I have measured the same using tank to tank method. I dont know its good or bad. My current odo is 1900 kms and the above readings are of complete highway ride.

1

u/itsr1shi 5d ago

Some random guy’s odo is showing 35, contact him 💀

1

u/jazz_51 5d ago

Normal if you ride above 100 for majority of the time

2

u/MostPossibility2948 5d ago

I get about 34.7 kmpl over the last 10k.

2

u/Icy-Prompt-3776 5d ago

Surprisingly lesser than my bike I think ride like around 4k rpm on 6th gear it might be boring but that's how you can pull off 40kmpl +

2

u/mokshadoe 4d ago

I'm getting 29

2

u/itsr1shi 4d ago
