Just watched your video nicely done. Just so you know, more than a 1/3rd of Jasper townsite was destroyed by wildfire a couple of weeks ago. So you got to see it just in time.

thanks for watching, yeah, I heard about Jasper. Heartbreaking

I really hope I’m not the only one that heard “Das Boot!” in my head @6:48 That fuel economy had to be really frustrating, but I’m sure it was a relief that the dealer couldn’t find anything wrong. Great scenery in this video.

@CrunchMoto Год назад

Yeah, when I saw das boot on the menu I knew I had to try it! Happy to report that was the end of my fuel problems.

I just finished watching all your videos on california to florida trip, Love your videos and keep on doing more trips like these and inspire us 😎🥳.

Thanks for watching!

Great trip and the videos! I wonder if your MPG issues were caused by higher elevation (less air for the motor) and you riding uphill. Looks like the fuel economy went back to normal after you crossed the Rockies and the elevation dropped. Excessive speed, like you said, can also be a factor. All the best from SFL!

Great point! Could be

You are going to have to carry some gas with you on the Dalton if you cant cover 200+ miles on a tank. You can refill yr bike and your belly at coldfoot on the dalton, but its 230 miles between fairbanks and coldfoot. Even if your normal range is 150, you would still be about 70 miles short to coldfoot. Then you have coldfoot to deadhorse. That's another 250 miles, maybe little less. I rode both dalton and dempster in 2013. Fun ride as long as its dry. Also, unpaved sections on dalton are clay with calcium chloride. When wet, it is very slick. Calcium chloride is also corrosive so wash your bike promptly. For lodging at fairbanks, check if University of Alaska at Fairbanks still does lodging for bikers. I paid like 10 bucks a night at the dorm back then. Have fun!

Thanks, this is all good advice. Believe me, I was doing that same math everytime I got low on fuel. The good new is, because of the low speeds of the Dalton, I got great gas mileage and made it without a problem.

@stevenbuis4490 Год назад

So what did the dealer find that could be causing the fuel issue. Loving the videos. You have great cameras!

@CrunchMoto Год назад

Nothing really. They chalked it up to headwinds... Thanks for watching!

@williamharley2923 7 месяцев назад

I've had to use a fuel stabilizer on occasion on my '03 Road king in similar situations.

@CrunchMoto 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! That's helpful for next time

@StatiK2971 27 дней назад

Well what happened at the dealership?? What was causing the diminishing fuel efficiency?

@CrunchMoto 22 дня назад

The chalked it up to excessive speed into headwinds.

@tiberiusvetus9113 10 месяцев назад

Are you taking mountains into account when calculating gas?

@CrunchMoto 10 месяцев назад

turns out it was the headwinds

@Rianwmeeks 11 месяцев назад

What do you do for work?

@CrunchMoto 11 месяцев назад

Software sales, but I was between jobs during the trip.

@oldbikenewman Год назад

Did the dealership find anything that could be impacting your fuel economy?

@CrunchMoto Год назад

Nope. They wrote it off as headwinds... which is possible b/c the ride into Calgary was incredibly windy. I cut some segments where I talked about the wind (maybe there will be an extended director's cut later.)

@skipperdabio Год назад

I rode my 88” Dyna from Lake Havasu to northern WA state. I was in the wind most of the ride and my fuel economy suffered significantly. Anywhere from 30-55 mpg depending on headwind. Great job documenting the trip so far! Really enjoying following along.
