Your right on that. I talked with a guy last night about his 99 XC 700 and he says hes getting around 12 to 14 with his sled, he has an SLP pipe on his. I notice mine up north with one of the guys I ride with that has a 2001 SRX 700 tripple with a bender pipe with his carbs fattened up, everytime we pull to the pump he still has a 1/3 his tank and im just about empty. if I remember right his tank is only a gallon more then mine.
