CFMOTO 450MT Fuel Consumption

So far this is my fuel consumption for the CFMOTO 450MT.
4.1L per 100km
Have not had the first service yet, so results may vary once the first oil has been changed out of the 450MT.

[@MalHanson]

The first tank I've run through my 450MT showed 3.7l/100k on the trip meter, but it used 4.02l/100k by calculation - 12.25l for 304.2km. That's 58.4 miles per (imperial) gallon. My average speed was 43kph. Right after the first fill it showed 480km range remaining, which dropped fairly quickly as I rode through traffic to get to the hills. Sitting on 80kph it shows about 2.8 - 3 l/100k burn rate, and at 100kph just over 4l/100k - those are rough numbers that'll obviously change with conditions, road surface, and elevation change.

I get 107. 116796 mpg from my Meteor 350-city/highway/ off road. I went 362.9 km & used 9.57 litres. My bike is a 2021 Royal Enfield Meteor 350. I wonder if the 450 MT is set too rich on the fuelling as that's not very good at all. I've heard other people say that they're hard on gas as well. They almost sound like they're running too rich-very flat.

[@MalHanson]

@@frankpinion4937 My Himalayan did the same loop (some city & suburbs, then climbing dirt tracks, then motorway home) at an average speed of 40kph and used 3.09l/100k, so yes it appears the 450MT uses about 1l more per 100k - bearing in mind that this was the first tank of gas in the 450 so it's likely still a little tight. I'm also consciously putting a repeated small load on the motor rather than holding a constant rpm on the motorway, so that won't help. I'll report back after the first service

[@outie555]

Thanks for the fuel figures, I'm guessing it will get better with more km and the first service

[@hectorappertie.6944]

Oh! I Am picking mine up today!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@tabbycat404]

Have a great time on it, mate

[@outie555]

That's really exciting. I had the shakes when I picked mine up!

[@markhills3922]

2 weeks and i should have mine in the shed...happy days!

[@DanDan-he2vw]

better consumption that i thought as some other reviews were talking about 22 km per liter. Keep on the good work

[@outie555]

It's now 4.0L per 100km when I dropped it off this morning for it's 1000km service, so will see if it improves with new oil.

[@ianross225]

I’ve just done a 4,200 mile, 23 day on/off road trip in the US. My average fuel consumption was 3.6 litres per 100km. That’s laden with gear and roughly 50:50 on and off road. I’m not tempted by more weight and lower range.

[@bobanppvc]

Dont lie

[@outie555]

Didn't even know it was released in US yet. Am I missing something?

[@JimmyHamAnp]

Nice to see your new bike and content!

[@outie555]

Thanks! Two bikes are better than one!

[@PhantomRides]

That's a potent Adv... Congratulations again!

[@outie555]

Yeah it goes very well.

[@AridersLifeYT]

1:33 that’s a great time to do some 180* pivot spins.. weight on right leg, flair clutch while you pull backwards on the clutch and the bike will do a 180 with abit of a burnout.

[@outie555]

Will try that one day, probably when I get the crash bars as I'm bound to need to drop it a few times before getting the hang of it.

[@itsshahsawaar]

I think better way would he to fill up the tank multiple times and then do on and off road, freeway and city. Just full up the tank after every 200km and calculate the average by distance and litres consumed. These on meter consumption values were found to be inaccurate.

[@Manuel-tr5kd]

Note, 42km AVG speed means this bike hasn't done much in city driving. My 450nk does 5.8l/100km at 22km avg speed

[@outie555]

I do a combined city and highway so far.

[@sukatouring]

How to toggle the fuel consumption from L/100Km to L/Km? 😊

[@markpulling12]

I wouldn't trust the fuel computer....better to work it out the good old fashioned way at the pumps ...good video thanks

[@outie555]

You bet

[@lawrieyoutube4375]

Hi. Two months later I have had my 450MT for about a month. Did all your readings get more accurate after the first service? 635km now on my third tank top up. currently reading 4.0 L per 100km. A few ks ago it said I had less than 100km left but when I filled the tank it only took 8L. It showed full when I turned the bike back on. I've only done less than 50ks since then but the gauge now says half full and only 235km left. Not very accurate. I'm wondering if a set of the computer at the first service settled yours down?

[@arnohag1]

You'll get better when it loosens up with more usage and a steady wrist. My F800GS regularly gets 4L/100klm.

[@outie555]

Thanks, I hope so. I think the fuel usage will end up being about 4L per 100km. Unless I ride it at slower speeds

[@markhills3922]

@@outie555 Blasphemy! as your confidence grows in the bike and on the dirt you will be going faster my friend...such is the nature of the beast.

[@martythompson6509]

That's not brilliant for a 450. My 750 Transalp uses less than that.

[@slakk5093]

it needs 95 octane too, where as the Transalp can run 91

[@outie555]

Depends though where it's ridden and how I think, but it certainly isn't a fuel miser like my ctx700. That thing has a 660cc engine and uses 3.5L per 100km

[@markhills3922]

@@outie555 power output, performance under throttle and weight all add up to using fuel...it's the price we pay for having fun; a 450 thoroughbred single cylinder Enduro bike will use around 9-10L per hundred K's and they weigh much less than the 450MT; i am surprised to read the Transalp is more fuel efficient; if true then perhaps the 450MT does need the airbox/exhaust/ECU to be tweaked.

[@mohitraj5615]

What is the seat height on this? I've heard it goes all way down to 800mm. Can you make a video demonstrating how to lower the seat?

[@outie555]

It's in the 820mm (standard) height. To lower it it has a lowering link in the rear suspension. You undo a bolt and adjust, then put the bolt back in. I'm too tall to need to do this so I'm sure some other vlogger will make it before I do.

[@drzrider3440]

Wow. Not too be a downer, but I did expect better than 57.3 miles per gallon. My buddy gets around 75mph on his 2021 CB500X. When my DRZ400 was stuck, in get 65ish miles per gallon. Of coarse now i only got 45 miles per gallon due to mods done. Im assuming maybe after it breaks in a bit and things loosen up, it might get a few more MPG.

[@outie555]

Yeah it is getting better milage with each tank of fuel and after the first oil change will probably be slightly better. As long as I don't hoon about too much

[@markhills3922]

what Engine oil did you use mate?

good consumption thanks for the information. Buut why did you put a phone, isn't there a way to start the navigation on the display? Or does he want tbox?

He said only ones in China had 'carplay' to put the phone info on display, could be available with future software updates ???

[@outie555]

Yes, perfect score for the right answer!

[@hectorappertie.6944]

Thanks

[@outie555]

You're welcome

[@frankpinion4937]

24.39 km per litre on the 450MT. That's not great! Perhaps it will improve once it's broken in. My last fuel test on my bike it was doing city/ highway & off road was returning 37.92 km per litre. average speed 46 kph is not very fast, although my average running speed off road probably a bit less.

[@outie555]

Thanks for sharing, yeah it can use the fuel as it's a sport bike engine that loves to rev. Maybe with a larger front sprocket it will go down.

[@markhills3922]

@@outie555 if one is worried about fuel use maybe they should take up another hobby/sport..or ride a moped. seriously, the only real reason we need to know how much fuel we use is so when we know we need more go juice...and it's good to know how far you can get on a tank when planning a decent ride; we don't want to get stuck out in the bush having to push the bike home; i've had to do that twice now (30 years of riding) and it aint no fun; last time it happened i stashed the bike in the bush after an hour of pushing with a big hill in front of me and hoped that it was still there when i got back.

[@TheMisterNebo]

Wait - did you reinstall your small windscreen?

[@outie555]

No just uploaded in a different order.

[@SatansBaby1]

They lie about the weight and fuel consumption, my screen shows 4.1L /100km , measured at the gas station, its about 4.6L. That is a lot. My average with about 80kmh speed on the road is about 4.1-4,2L/100km. More then tenere 700, and has about the same KG. What a fail of a bike.

[@outie555]

Is the 4.1L the average fuel consumption of the total km the bike has travelled, or the trip meter?

[@SatansBaby1]

@@outie555 Trip, but it was about 500km. And after that I measured it few times in a row, I have a friend that is about 108km from me, so i get full tank, drive to him, and about 102km from my gas station is "his" , and its always much higher then what it shows. For that bike, that is to much, just a fail in all aspects but price. Also, my suspension adjustment makes almost no change, even at the dealer and they say its normal, that there is slight change and that is good enough. lol...

[@stevesanelli90]

You lout reving up the engine in a tunnel 😂😉⭐️

[@outie555]

I dropped some rev bombs in that tunnel on my other bike with its fake akarpovic and no baffle and it was super loud and I could feel it in my chest. This one not so much with the stock exhaust, but still fun in its own way. I didn't plug my mic in when I did it on my other bike so no video evidence will come out of that.

@@outie555 there ya go...someone who can probably teach you a thing or two when riding off-road; slow and technical is the best way to learn about body position and weight transfer/bike reaction before hitting the faster stuff where all the same principals apply especially in an 'emergency', crap the pants situation.
