I've gone through 4 tanks now.
it's impossible to get to 300 let alone 350.
i've tried going slow as slow. and thrashing it.
havnt gotten past 280km with the 13L.
which is about 60mpg

my last bar's started blinking always between 230 and 240km.

seriously how do you guys get 60-70? and even 80 ?

its just NOT POSSIBLE.

i've done 6 tanks now.

no matter if i ride slow, or hard, or in the city or in the motorway.

i get exactly 50mpg.
or about 280km.

but then when i fill up i can never get 6 bars even when i fill to the max

its just not possible to go 280km ( 175 miles) ish.

What's your weight, dude?
It is extremely strange!
i weight about 65kg? 130ish pounds?

i wouldnt say i'm heavy.
and i get this amount whether i thrash it. or ride it nice and slow.

i was told for the first few hundred k's to ride and cruise at 6-7k RPM so the engine wont be under powered while its adjusting.

but now i just cruise at about 4-5k RPM.

i dont know.

also i fill my tank to the brim full. i dont get full 6 bars

I think the same, probably it's only a matter of how much gas he's putting in the tank since is not getting the sixth bar

hmm you are right.
i filled it up sitting on the bike, also filling way past up the neck and got up to where the seals for the filler cap go. then it went down, then i put more in, then it went down. i got about 2L more in it.

got my 6th bar for about 40k's.

that's 40k's more than my 280km so i guess i will make it past 300 after all. will post how far i go and what mpg when this tank is done
