So, I'm riding with my normal Sunday group this morning and we head off on some very isolated roads and my fuel light comes on. So, I slow down to 4,000 in 6th, about 75 mph and watch the reserve fuel odometer and start getting nervous after it hit 15 miles and at 20 miles I finally see a gas station and fill it up. She took 4.01 gallons and the trip meter was on 158 miles. So I guess there is a bout 40 miles of gas once the fuel light comes on. It's good to know. My ZRX has a fuel guage and a reserve switch and with no fuel guage it can get a bit tricky.

BTW, at 120 mph the wind blast really causes some serious helmet buffeting and I had to slow down. Seems like 100mph is the fastest speed that I could go w/o the buffeting. Anyone working on a flyscreeen?

Hit reserve light first time today, approx 1 mile later tanked up, odo read 150 miles and it took 3.5 gallons to fill up. 42 miles per gallon average, not bad at all!

My first tank full to reserve light was only 105 miles, not great but guess it might improve once run in?

Mileage certainly depends on how enthusiastically one applies the throttle. I did not buy this bike to ride laid back.

My original post was after the first service and most of the time I was running about 5-6,000 rpms with bursts to redline (what redline?, should I say flashing lights? Stream of conciousness: Were those the DTC lights or the redline lights?).

That's good to know it has a decent range. I've been filling up at ~100 miles each time. So it sounds like 150-170 mile range depending on riding style. Nice.

I've been barely breaking 100 miles per tank.. but my driving is mostly attempting to wheely all the way to 90, then slow down to the next stop

Mine came on at 132 tonight but was almost home so don't know how many miles on reserve.

I just did a mini tour and got 14.5 km per litre or x4 is 58 km per gallon or around 35 mpg??

Should be 14.5 x 16l = 232km per tank or 140 miles.

What a cool way to save gas (over my diesel excursion)

I'm hitting the light at about 125 miles but in Cali last week it would only go about 100 miles to the light (a lot more air = a lot more fuel!)
