    How far will my DR-Z400 go on a "Clarke" tank of gas ?

    Am riding the Waikaremoana loop on Friday.
    I put a Clarke tank on last year, but have not yet done a full real world economy/range test to see how many km I will go before I totally run out of fuel.
    The tank NOW holds 15.75L of gas. (was only 14.75 on first fill)
    The route will be approx 200km tar, 150 km gravel, 70km forest road, 20km forest track.
    Would you guys like to take a stab at how many Km until I run out.
    (I will keep riding until empty)

    It'll be raining, very muddy, and dark when you run out.

    my 650 aprilia pegaso does 15 km per liter.....don't know if that compares...
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    I could only get 16km/l on my DR-Z with road gearing and a full yosh pipe, open box and 160 main jet...crazy frog runs almost stock and I think he is closer to 18-20 km/l.
    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    My normal is 26.3 km/l ! I'm going to try harder.

    Go on, put a figure on it.

    must admit I never rode it softly - way too trigger happy, too easy to have fun on.
