so it seems to troubles with my friends and their ski's are never ending lately... guess this is what happens when im the onlyone with the skills to turn a wrench among a buncha programers / pc tech frineds..

01 GTI and GTS both seem to be using alot of gas, fill them up, ride for about 2hrs, and have used over 1/2 tank, where begining of the season and lastyear they were only using bout 1/4 for the same amount of riding, a day out used to use bout 1/2 tank, now its sucking them dry, what should i start looking for????

Check compression. Loss of that means less power = more consuption, as gas needs
that to fully burn the fuel mix. Bills86e

 

[hookdonspeed]

what should the compression be on the 717's?

 

[Bills86e]

150 each is good, and within 5psi of each other.

Check for leaks.
It also depends on how you ride it. At WOT, you will completely empty the tank (including reserve) in 1 hour and 21 minutes.
