I have to switch my 97 to reserve at about 160 mi. Our bikes might have different sized tanks though.

Check the Gas Mileage threads.

Hi, I recon 55/60 to the UK gallon. I used to keep figures but that's where it averages. I look to fill up at about the 180 mark. Only twice since I bought my '03 have I had to resort to "res" According to the manual and "What bike" the tank is 20ltr although interestingly Suzuki's brochure said 19.

If you are checking old mileage threads remember a US gallon is 20% smaller than ours or ours is 25% bigger depending where you start. UK=160 fl oz, US = 128 fl oz. The cousins use a 16fl oz pint as opposed to our 20 oz so it's still 8 pints to the gallon albeit a different pint. Confused? you get drunk on fewer pints in England.
