With a good mix of riding i normally get 200 miles showing before the fuel trip starts counting... Takes around 16L to top up at this point leaving 6L or 7L in reserve... When i got it i stuck a can on the back and rode till it spluttered and it had about 280 miles on the trip then...

I get around 400km before refilling 20l, and that when not cruising over 4500rpm and taking it easy.

The most I got was 460km I think.

On more spirited rides, I get less range (300km before fuel gauge flashes (after 16.3l since reserve is 6.7l out of 23l)

the fuel gauge is awfully pessimistic and I'm very cautious.

Up to 480km between two stops. 500km would have been possible.

Cheers guys,
so you could pretty much ride all day without the dreaded orange
light spoiling your fun.
Is the bike harder to control when its full, does it feel top heavy?

TBH the only time I notice the full tank is if I'm pushing the bike around the garage.

Once on the move its fine and not top heavy at all

Pretty much this. I push the bike up a slope every day to get it into the garage. That's harder with a full tank. Actually riding it I can't say I've ever noticed.

It's more noticeable when you try and wheelie the bike with a full tank.
50.7 miles until empty on reserve for me.

zOU 21-03-10 19:13

I achieved 458km today. (including 100km after the gauge started to flash)
and managed to squeezed 23.3l in the tank at the petrol station

Peatbog 21-03-10 23:05

got 330miles (520km) from my last tank, 60 miles (96km) of that on reserve.

i couldn't get any more miles from it - and it seems it takes 24L to fill a tenere tank from absolutely empty, go on - ask me how i know......:laughing5:

Did you get to the filling station, empty your tank into the car next to you (because you are such a generous guy) then fill the tank from empty ?


Or, did you fill it with diesel, then empty it, then fill it again...:051:
