I managed to take out a couple of tigers, must have been 800 yds !!! No, sorry wrong type of tank !!! Managed 165 miles on a tank, from brimmed to light on, mostly 2 up, but a few solo spirited miles as well. Is this norm for an America, what you getting??? How far have you gone after light on ???
Hi MrOrange how are you? on a full tank we have had around 175 before the light came on and I think we did another 30 before refuelling and still had some we think
Am well, nice wee run to Carlisle today, picked up some Triumph clothing bargains, T-shirts, hats and a pair of kevlar jeans at KC Superbikes. Had to give the bike a proper clean, was covered in a fine layer of salt when we got back.
Next time your down call in and see us at Eastriggs,we are still trying to get the new house to a liveable state but we are pretty close possibly move in about three weeks so The Muster looks very likely now,We have had a run up to Dumfries on the bike to pick a shower up last week so the cobwebs are off. We got folk coming for a munch and a small bevvy so might not get out tomorrow but lets see!
Now i have dented in the top my petrol tank with a hammer so i can sit on it with my legs dangling over the front of handle bars I do not get much to the tankful
Tank filled and 170 solo miles today, and no fuel light !!! Managed 185 on the clock before I filled it this morning and cost £17.50, so well pleased with that as a rough mpg calculation @ 48mpg. Happy days.
Fuel light flicked on and off for a while today and filled up at 182 miles. Put 16.02 lits in think it worked out at 51 mpg. Happy with that but will check next tank also
My light came on at 177 and ran it till 197!!! pleased with that. Cost £17 to fill, roughly same mpg as you, wide.
My fuel consumption is determined by SPG! If I get to a petrol station and I'm still smiling I don't care what my odometer says, Smiles Per Gallon is what it's all about. If you don't get enough SPG per tank go buy a Volvo.
According to google, tank sizes are pretty similar between Bonneville and America @ 16 litres. Did 177 again yesterday before light on and fuelled up at 191. It's not the MPG, I am particularly bothered about, but coming from a GSXR750 that you were lucky to get 120 before light came on, doing nearly 200 miles between fills is a bit of a bonus.
Brimmed to light on 300Km, rode another 34Km with arse twitching like a rabbits nose before finding a Petrol staion.
334 km - 207 miles !!!! That's good going, i was nipping it at 197 miles !!! Challenge is set 210 miles here we come !!! (might just slip a litre fuel bottle in the panniers )
