I've done over 300 miles now, and calculated from the last fill up it is giving me an amazing 60.9 mpg, which means a full tank should give me the best part of 180 miles (although I wouldn't wait that long before filling!).

This may of course be a reflection of my riding but I don't think I have ridden too much like a 'granny' , I had done 120 miles when I filled up and only put 8.98litres in the tank (no fuel light had come on, I was doing a longish run and didn't want to have to stop to fuel).

The bike has had a varied running in - which has consisted of dual carriageways, town (stop/start), lots of country lanes, hills and bends. I've been up and down the range of recommended rpms apart from the first trip where I totally forgot I was supposed to be being careful and went a tad faster than I should have ..

I'm very pleased as I hadn't expected it to be as much

Wow wasn't expecting to see that kind of mileage! one more good thing about the bike.

That's great news. And it's still being broken in, so might get even better mileage.

I never consider mpg with my bikes. The only consideration is fun

I agree about the fun but want to know how many miles I'm likely to achieve before having to stop for fuel!

 

[El Toro]

I just work on filling up every 100 miles or thereabouts. Never run out so far.

I agree with both of you.
I don't consider mpg. I've no idea about that on any of my bikes.
What I do do is zero the trip after every fuel stop and as El Toro said, ride to around a certain mileage to suit whatever bike I'm on.
Like Little Owl said, I need to know tank range, especially when touring. My wife's Diavel has less range than my bike, so the fuel stops are based on that (approx120-130mls), and we manage the stops to suit bike range then maybe a meal break to match in.

Just a habit, one of my better ones.

If this is the case I want a smaller tank. more fuel for the bike and the belly!

Aye, that'll be right. I'd end up like the side of a house if it was every stop.
Just when a fuel stop kinda coincides with a 'wee something' break.

 

[nipper1961]

I managed 105 miles then the light came on, hooning around the lanes, so not that bad for a small tank, I think 120 miles should be possible touring or main roads (freeway)

 

[Dutch]

I get out of 1 liter 22,5 km. That means more or less 213km before reserve starts. However incluiding 4 liter reserve it should be 300 Km (189 miles). I will not test...

 

[CookieKing]

I've done 140 miles

 

[Armo]

Light came on at 98 miles of hard riding.

I'm doing something wrong! I'm only managing about 130 at a push. Fill up when the light comes on

 

[motomeek]

I'm getting about 146 miles by the time I get to the station with the F light on. 2.8 gallons at the fill which is about 52 MPG.

 

[Simon Audi]

I get between 100 and 130 miles before light comes on - depends how I ride - typically 115 miles.

 

[TC3]

I now get between 110-120 miles between fills running with out 02 sensors and rexxer map. Down about 6% on what the stock bike gave me

 

[nunya]

holy crap i'm getting about 70-75 miles before the comes on?

 

[JaFlo]

I got 48mpg (US) on my last tank. That was mixed city / highway and some "spirited" riding. This is also with a booster plug installed. The gas light comes on usually between 110-120 miles.

 

[greer]

I got 52 mpg last fill up, mix of highway and back roads.
