Filling up

Anyone

1. What sort of mpg should I expect?

I've been quoted 60 mpg, but my bike is doing a lot less than that & i've only done 448 miles and not yet exceeded 56 mph. I've tried filling up 3 times.

2. Is there anyway to get more petrol into the filler without spraying petrol all over the bike & yourself?

I take longer to fill the XT, dribbling in a little at a time, with the gas foaming at the lip of the filler, up to �11.50, than I do shoving the diesel spout up to the plastic guard into the pickup & putting in �75 worth.

It's like it's been designed to be re-fueled via a jerry can!

LOL!
