how close are the 2 and how much mileage is lost on an sxr when you put triple pipes on it? I am trying to decide between a viper or an 01 sxr700. Thanks

I get about 7-8 MPG, but 50% my riding is off trail in fresh powder.

my viper usually will get about 100 miles to the tank in powder or messing arounf in fields. up to or over 150 miles per tank and flat smooth hard trails

They should get about the same stock,fuel mileage will suffer when you put pipes on.If you wanna go fast and get great mpg buy my srx.

I actually own both and I'd say on avg the 700 SXR gets about an additional 2mpg over the viper.

They both use 33mm flatslides so depending on jetting,riding style,clutching they should be close.

going to hell this season.
i would shoot for a 40-45:1 mix,thats like 34-38oz's of oil per tank(12gals)
of fuel, so a little over a qt per tank of gas.
have you checked all your cable free play's? where is your oil pump set to??

I generally get 10-14 mpg with a all time high of 16 mpg on some flat and hard groomed trails recently.I could hardly believe it thats not the norm for me 10 is low and that 16 is the exception, 13-14 is the most common.I am quite pleased with my sx-r, a 500 ski-doo that I used to have was'nt much better on fuel and it did'nt have nearly the power of the 700!
The last time I rode my triple piped 700SX it got 15 mpg on smooth hard packed trails.

I get 13-15 mpg on the viper, usually towards the high end of it
my wifes 600 sxr gets a bit less, and about twice the oil is used!
