How far can you go?

thanks that makes me feel better about my fuel consumption

My old FXR with the 1340 did better though, I could easily get to Taupo from the North Shore, roughly 300kms, on a tank. Much the same deal, basically stock engine etc but I guess it's a combination of having another 110cc's and using them. I've never bothered to check if the final drive ratios are the same but the Twin Cam feels a bit 'revvier', if that's a word. Ultimately I really don't give a shit. Having always been a big fan of American cars and owning more than I can recall, motorcycle fuel consumption doesn't rate.

yeah, heard it's not good to run the injectiors dry.

And worse to run an EFI pump dry.

520 km,with at 4l remaining

Thanks, you are actually right, don't give a shit just enjoy the ride!

During any given trip, how often do you start the engine?

During any given trip, how often do you start the engine?

At a rough guess I'd say - every time

[peasea]

At a rough guess I'd say - every time

So that's once, right? Holding the throttle at a predetermined position for the entire trip (assuming that's a 'light' throttle setting) after starting the engine and cruising at (? kph) in (I'm assuming) top gear you'd have how much fun?

Even commuting and round town, if I can get to 300km before reserve I can make 400 on a tank. The ZZR holds 24 litres including a 6 litre reserve.

Once with the handbrake on the back I got over 450 k but that was 'cos my planned stop was shut. Never been so pleased to get to Te Kuiti in all my life.

I have an 18L tank and can squeeze 297km out of it.

.....Only a Scot could "Squeeze" 297 frum a Ducati tank....


262 on my monster...Te Anau, Milford Return....plus a bit. I wanted to find out and was carrying 2 L spare with me.

My 96 injected RoadKing would give me 300 ks and my new 2009 with the bigger tank gives me just over 400 ks

I seem to get more per litre out of my 3ltr Subaru than I do out of my 1ltr Tiger.

Must be doing something wrong

17.5l is almost exactly 80% of 22l. Sounds like the trip computer has the concept of a "reserve" tank built it - it just starts when the display goes to zero.

I could live with that. I don't trust the fuel gage on my HD.
