Freez is on a distinguished road
The kilos/litre will differ.

My Xt with a good powercommander map was giving me around 230 to 250km's until the reserve light came on. I was able to go to 280 and even 300 before the tank would be dry. Averaging about 21km/l.

I since then I increased the fuel delivery on my fuel map and now I get around 200 to 210 before the reserve light comes on. I think I will go back to the older map soon as there is no real benefit to run the map I have now.

I also run a 16 front sprocket and ride in traffic. Speed ranges between a crawl up to around 100km/h for short distances.

On the open road, sticking to around 100km/h, I use to get up to 25km/l if I took it easy.

Crank it open and the average seems to be around 19 to 21km/l.

Jon�s Tenere is also giving him around the 18 to 19 km/l right now, and that�s with a rich map, We leaned his fuel map out a bit also, so I think he will be getting around the 20 to 22km/l soon. Also traffic riding. His Tenere should also run around the 25km/l if he takes it easy. He still runs stock sprockets.
