The mystery of the missing gasoline
Hola compadres,
Every time I fill the tank I reset the clock to 0’s, but riding in the city I never get more than 100 kilometers before I need to re-fill again, is this a normal consumption rate for city riding? Of course on road trips I get much better mileage (what is your average distance on a full tank?). Also I have another comment, according with the manual, it states that the tank capacity is 22 liters and the reserve tank is 3.5 liters, this means that the whole tank has a complete capacity of 25.5? anyone has rushed the gas reserve to the limit? Is this something healthy for the filters, one day somebody told me that if you use the very last drop of fuel you had the chance of clogging the gasoline filter because at the bottom of the tank there is a lot of dirt and sediments.
Regards and V’s,
Luis

I'm sure the whole tank capacity is 22 litres. 18.5 litres + a reserve of 3.5.
Your fuel consumption seem very high to me. If I only got 60 miles to a full tank the bike would be too much of a luxury to afford.
I get 170 miles to a full tank if I rideat less than go to jail speeds.

Thanks guys,it seems high to me too, but I do not get smoke or stains and the spak plugs come in decent shape every time I replace them, so probably it's a matter of my clock indicators, probably they are not giving an accurate riding in both kilometers run ad the fuel gauge, not sure hmmm??

Is it safe to say that since the Cane's speedometer is off by about 10% that everyones fuel range is too? Luis, is your drive train stock? AM exhaust? NOX? (kidding on the last one!)
I can get ~ 250km out of a tank here. Gas here is $1.30 per litre for the good stuff......20.00 to fill...never thought I'd see the day....
