Does this seem a little low?

Sounds good... I just dont wanna lose power while in the middle of the motorway

Fill it up. Reset trip meter (use this as your fuel guage once you know how much she does on average to a tank) ride around for some km's (doesn't have to be for the whole tank) then refill the tank to the same level and note the kms on the trip meter. divide the kms by the litres it took you to fill it back up and you have your km/l. Reset the trip meter and bobs your uncle. If you reset the trip meter then you'll know exactly how far you can go before reserve and plan your fuel stops easier. This is very important if you are out of town and having to make the decision about whether to fill up here or whether you can make the next stop/town etc.

ok, at the chance of sounding dumb here... When I fill up my car I put the nozzle in and fill it till the handle goes 'click' all done.

Will this be the same with a bike.... noozle all the way in and wait for the click? or will it just fill and go eveywhere?

If it does click, do you guys pull the nozzle out a bit and try and get a litre or more in? or is that bad for the bike?

Not the same as a car, go slowly and fill to the bottom of the neck.

You can squeeze more in if riding immediatley other wise you'll loose fuel through heat expansion.

The pump flicks off as soon as it senses resistance from the fuel it's pumping out, so as soon as the end of the nozzle touches fuel it will cut off.
Best to just hold it as motorcycle fuel tanks fill quick as, fill it right up to the top brim if assuming you are on your sidestand.

I have looked and do see a centre stand, do all bikes have on? mines a GSXR

[Slyer]

They are less common on newer and sportier bikes.
I can say that they are definitely very useful.

Go try out the centrestand before you actually want to use it as they are not as easy to use as you would think!

Read this and you will be fine
