Normally, I use 7 liters/100km, but during a 700 km gravel road rally in "Värmland", my worst (highest) consumption was over 1 litre per 100 km. Has anyone measured consumption is sand?
I've got an XR600 that consumes 5 l/100km normally, but in sand it used twice the amount! On the softest spot, the top speed was 90 kph (normally, it's 150).
