Maybe it's the aussie fuel that makes the difference. Just a thought.

Is the aussie fuel any different than other fuel?

I have used 95 fuel mostly but some of the more remote places between Darwin and Perth have only 91, so have had that 3-4 times.

Anyhow - when you say youre getting 400 kms before reserve starts, is those 400 km on the ODO/trip on your bike or on GPS?

If youre riding with 15/48 your ODO/trip will be faaaar out. More than 10 % I think....
