For the WR250R lowered seat aero project, my plan is to keep the steering/handle bars fairly standard. This will probably limit the amount of seat lowering I can do. I want to keep the fabrication requirements within reasonable limits on a first attempt. It usualy takes about 3 attempts before one has debuged the whole thing.
The stock fuel tank is only 7.5 L total [2 US gallons] this presents an interesting challenge, how fare can I go on 5.5L [1.5 gal]? can I get the fuel consumption down low enough to get over 400 km [250 miles] on 5.5L? This is 1.375L/100km [171 mpg US]? I do have a 15 L tank for this bike so if all else fails I can put it on and get the range I want.
