Yoz, I am a fellow Impulse rider too!

Quite a gd bike, this bike buang so many times liao, still going strong.

[Zon]

Been looking for it for years....

[I am Roy]

[Octega]

The 2004 model

Suzuki Impulse 2004

Another link

 

The exhaust looks big, seems to be titled upwards, something like the S4s. They

 

Dun ask me on the jap, I dunno I just happen to stumble onto the webpage.

[I am Roy]

The exhaust looks kinda out of proportion to the bike's cutting.

Kinda make the bike looks longer. Think the exhaust of the older versions looks better for the bike.

 

Hey Zon... the link's pic of the bike kinda looks like yours in terms of paintwork and looks (w/o the side boxes lah). hehe!

[Guest nE0]

Roy, can you send me the manuals?

 

Anyways, I like the black/red paintwork. Mines silver though.

[S750WP]

Why not shift this thread to the naked bike section, makes it easier for rider with the same bike to look for FAQ.

Hey guys, just an informal survey, whats your fuel cosumption like?

 

Mines average 22km/litre, mostly street riding. But it drops to 16km/litre when I go touring, speed around 140-160 constant.

[hachi]

Almost the same.

Street is 21km-23km per litre. Depends on mood...

 

Touring is 16km-18km per litre, ard 160-180km/hr.

[Guest nE0]

Alrighty.. Guess I should try to refrain from revving it past 5krpms then. Try to get 24km/litre

[Octega]

Yep, I managed to hit 25km/l. I dun rev and dun speed most of the time, my RPM meter died so I also dunno how much I rev (BTW, anyone know how much to replace the RPM meter?)

 

BTW, how far u guys manage to go on a full tank? I experiment so far to reach 350KM before refueling, nowadays, when I hit 300KM, I refuel liao.

[I am Roy]

Last night, mine hit reserve tank @ 254km on the tripmeter. Then I top up about 11litres. should work out to be approx. 23km/litres for consumption. I usually rev between 5000 to 6000rpm, travelling between 90 to 100 or 110km/hr. (I travel on expressway most of the time)

 

Charlie, u said our tank is 15litres.... that works out to be approximately 4 litres of fuel for reserve? hmmm... i personally think that's quite alot!

 

Octega, pls enlighten me, u mentioned that u refuel at 300km nowadays... meaning that u already hit reserve or haven't hit reserve at all yet @ 300km?

 

 

[Octega]

I always ride with the knob turn to the reserve.

Reserve more like 4.5L. Cos when hit reserve, u pump ard 10.5L.

[xiaowang]

Where can I find a 2nd-hand impluse?

[I am Roy]

Yup Charlie... think it's about there.

 

Octega very daring! Riding with knob turned to reserve always. Hehe! I salute u.

 

[Guest nE0]

I've managed to squeeze 16.5 litres once (tank was dry, don't ask me how )

[Guest NickyBoy]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum, a fren happen to mention of this forum.

I'm a GSX400 rider too. So far, never encounter any problem.

As for mileage, I'm getting 22-23km/l, topping up at about every 230km.

Don't want to take risk of low fuel, happened to me once along BKE.

Lucky got fren went to buy petrol and delivered to me in two 1.5 litres mineral water bottles.

BTW, we are riding GSX400 Impulse. Not the sports bike.

Cos you sounds like you are riding the sports version.
