765 765 Fuel Mileage

Thrashing round known roads dash says 48 ukmpg.
Touring with cruising and the odd thrash thrown in 56 ukmpg.

About 150 miles to a tank is a good time to fill up generally.

 

Just go and do it, you'll work it out somehow

I carry a petrol stove which I keep topped up so I always have a one litre bottle spare in my bag. I have had the mileometer reading minus 3 miles (reset trip at zero) when out one day and it had about half litre left at next station.
Pictures are on here with more detail under triumph rideouts or something similar.

Carry a couple of of sigg bottles in your luggage just in case.

 

I get about 110-120 miles before the fuel light comes on; and although I've never run until empty (who would!) I can get ~30 miles with the light on, had a rage of zero miles showing for a while once which was disconcerting.

I'm quite heavy handed though, over 7k miles and most of those have been pinning it for the fun

 

i did 180 miles and fuel gauge was empty and still had about 20 miles left before i ran out

 

Just for general info;
765 RS '68 plate.
Filled up yesterday with 2 miles showing on the dash as the remaining range. It took 14.44 litres of fuel to brim it.

 

From memory the tank hold 17 litres so you probably had another 20 miles or so?

 

From the information that followed this message it looks like you'll be fine! I hope so because I think there's more than a few of us want to see some pictures of the ST in the remoter regions of Kansas!

GO FOR IT. Nothing ventured ..................................

 

174 miles today/yesterday from a brim full tank to dash range zero. I'd guess less than 2 litres left so a "safe" range of over 180 appears quite possible.

 

I really ought to stop pinning my RS, I consider 150 miles a result

 

You do know it has 6 gears dont you?

Just saying

 

I'll bet fuel consumption wasn't on the list of things to ask about when you were buying it?

 

I managed 88 miles before the fuel light came on the last tankful on mine.

Mind you, some of that was on the road which helped squeeze a few more miles out of it!
