Yeah, the enduro-cross track shouldn't slow you down at all

I think topo has nailed it right there

My experience is to just plan your fuel stops (and not listen to Nordie

) maybe get a nomad tank or tie a 5ltr on the back
Change sprokets perhaps ?

Nup gonna get a bigun alright.

I did a bit of research on dirtbike world & the figures they're pumping out are consistent with my sloppy records & Topos experiences- 100-120ks before reserve doing offroad stuff. Those with the17L sarfaris are getting 20Litres into them & getting about 380 Ks on a Cape York trip. Soundsgood to me.
Of course the seppos on thumpertalk can get about 300ks out of a can of baked beans so I haven't really worried about their claims.

I bought it to do adv riding & don't want to frick around with fricking gas stations every halfhour.

It is pretty fricking fast too don't forget.

Schmidtty isn't actually gonna get ridden- it's morelike my securityblanket- always there,always in bits, always needing me- anyone seen "Boxing Helena"?- that kinda relationship.

Man it's good to see the sun again.Nelson is looking like it normally does - bloody beautiful

May have to get to the xc &

Still needs the carb pulled apart even if it's only to see what the current settings are.
