Title: Fuel mileage?
Post by: Rob on July 02, 2003, 10:08:59 PM
What do people get in terms of fuel mileage on your bikes?  I get about 150-180km (95-110miles) before I hit my reserve.  I also notice when I fill up I only put about 11.5litres in if I fill up soon after hitting reserve.  I checked and the tank is supposed to be 13.5l with an additional 3.5l reserve?  Thanks

'01 model and I EASILY get 180 miles before hitting reserve.  Even after dropping down to a 15 tooth front sprocket.  Pre-'01 models are averaging about 130-150 miles before reserve from what I have heard.
