95 gs500e, Just wonder what you canadian folk get for mileage before hitting the reserve. I'm only on my 2nd tank, but it seems that 170km was the mark.
That seems a little low to me, although I do ride it above 5000rpm everywhere and the bike probably does need a carb sync.

you that's a little low....on a full tank i get about 200 km then switch to reserve...when i'm pushing the bike, i have to switch at 160 or so

For me it depends, most of the time i get 180km till i need to switch it, which is close to you, and only once have i gotten to 250km. that was weird.

thanks for the response.
YEah i got about 170ish before i noticed it was getting low. I ran out of fuel last time at about the same mileage, and since it's a new bike to me I was like WTF? lol. My ninja got like 250km+ if I recall.
Also should mention i have 65000km.

riding easy, I  will get about 200-230km a tank before hitting the reserve... riding moderately (like I usually do) I will get 170-190km a tank usually... completely stock bike.
