Topic: Better gas mileage with 836 Wiseco?

[david 750f]

Just did a rebuild on a low mileage 76 CB750F. 836 Wiseco, 125-65 Megacle cam and mild porting. Stock air box and exhaust. I always got decent gas mileage around 45 mpg, now averaging 50mpg. Am I just lucky or not driving the bike hard enough? Pulls like crazy over 7K..

Increased compression often results in increased combustion effeciency.

I'm sure that longer distance riding +160kmh (+100mph) will increase the fuel consumption

My K6 drank closer to 1 liter per 10km on autobahn with 2 persons, lots of luggage and seldom under 160kmh. Mostly 170-180kmh.  Stop for refuel every hour.
Reducing to 120-140kmh better to avoid  too frequent  stops. Riding slower took us longer quicker.

I have not verified consumption on my K2 with K7 pistons that kicked up the compression and action to a healthier level.
Stock compression to handle crappy fuel in strange countries?

That 125-65 cam works very well with the 836 kit
