But yours may varie. I'm having issues (I think) with fuel MPG. So Like at 6500RPM in 6th gear I'm at 80-85mph I forget. But you can cruise at 5k and it will just sip on fuel

I've been getting easily 270km (168 miles) before hitting reserve. I've done 335km or 209 miles (on reserve) and I had to put 15.5 L to fill the tank. So if the tank is 17 L, it means that I had 1.5 L left.

I have just done today 265km and I had to add 12.5 L in the tank.

Hope it helps

According to what I remember, our reserve is 3L btw.

All those numbers are made in mix city and highway driving but more highway though. I'm on 6th gear at around 6200 rpm (125km/h on the gauge = 78mph) .

I usualy get 140 before I have to switch to reserve, but im sure it depends on your set up, jets, air filter, and how hard u ride.

Ya well I was about to get 150 miles the other day and was on reserve. I was super babying it. I found out my cylinder 1 is at 50psi on compression, and this is my only source of transportation so I can't get it fixed, which sucks. Found my MPG issue!
