Which petrol station do you use?

The pump is Ok, when I compare mileage to consumption, both on paper and the bike's calcs.

You stalking me or something? Correct, I fill on the centre stand, to the max, and never leave the bike standing for a length of time, or overnight, to prevent overflow, or damaging the tank. It only takes half an hour to remove a couple of litres...

So an average of 19 k per litre wouldn't be far off the mark for you then ???

Depends how I ride it... I mainly work in L/100km, as that's how the bike works, 20k per litre is obviously 5L/100km.

Best I have had, with luggage on board, was about 4.6L/100km, until a steady head wind for several hundred km killed that, and I settled at 4.8-4.9L/100km. I will admit to following a GN250 however. They are excellent for fuel economy The following day, I did 4.7L/100km, mostly in raining windy conditions.

Turn up the pace, with luggage on, and consumption soars, easily passing 6L/100km. During this fun part of riding, I asked a ZX14 if I was holding him up, and he asked if I was joking... he had twice the hp, but my pace was most satisfactory to him.

Generally, mid 5's is normal, if sticking to the limit, otherwise, high 5's.
