Hi Guys
Can anyone tell me for sure how much fuel an 2003 R1 can hold.
I've looked up the stats online and found that its supposedly 19L
The problem is that last night I believe I rang out of fuel but it only took 16.3L to fill the tank???? :oi-grr:
Seems a bit low? And I think I've put more fuel than that in it before.
I wish now that I'd tried a little harder to determine that the tank was definately empty before refilling.
Could it be something else - do the bikes have an electronic petcock or something? I'd assumed that as it has a fuel light and fuel trip meter that counts up from when the light comes on - that there'd be no reason for a petcock?
Other piece of info that may be relevant is that the bike was serviced during the current tank of gas and the tank was raised during the service. It seems a little coincedental to me but I'm not convinced that it is related.
