HS Race range on stock tank?

[KDXfile]

I just bought a used '07 EC250 and have a harescramble Sunday. What kind of range are you guys getting on the stock 2.5 gal tank?
It'll probably be a 50 mile 2hr race and I'd rather not pit for gas.
I wish IMS would make a bigger tank!

Thanks,

You should be able to make it 50 miles on a tank, but have spare gas instead as you'll be finishing on fumes. At the Desert 100 earlier this year it was a 50 mile lap and my 07 EC250 could just make it the 50 miles, but the bike was jetted too rich, float height was too high and it was 4+ hours of WFO.

DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS AND JETTING I WOULD NOT CHANCE IT. WHEN YOU CLICK IT TO RESERVE PLAN ON ONLY GOING 1 TO 2 MILES. PERFECT COND. AND JETTING IT MAY. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I HATE PUSHING MY BIKE

Seeing as you just got the bike, I would not chance it. I can get 50 enduro miles out of my 300s, but it really depends on the trails and who I'm riding with.

I went out today and rode 21 miles and used about a gal. so I think I better pit for gas.

Thanks for the replies,

my 2007 ec250 will go 40 miles on a tank of gas at a hare scramble.i would not push 50 miles.

float height was too high

Hey speedy ... care to pontificate on your prefered float height and how to set? I'm always looking for better mpg.
