Re: Average miles on an SV tank?
 

I've got a Curvy and I've never seen the fuel light stay on constantly, it only flashes (which I hate by the way).

I'm wondering if it means I can push it for some more miles until the flash changes to constant on before filling up.

Re: Average miles on an SV tank?
 

The fuel light on a curvy stays on constantly when there is 1L of fuel in the tank; it flashes at 5L (I think these are right...). I ran out of juice when I first got it as I didn't realise it was a two-stage warning light!

I get around 125 miles from brimmed to the flashing light

09 restricted Pointy and getting about 160 afore the light comes on then just fill it up from there, dont ever want to run out ha very hilly in Shetland so wont be fun pushing her.

About 165 - 175 to the flashing light, solid light comes on at around 195, have seen 210 miles before refilling.

The least: 80 (Anglesey cut out coming in from the 7th session)
The most: 135 (then pushed it)

I usually get to 150 on my L0 pointy, got the same on my old k9 before light comes on.

That's mainly commuting, although a spirited commute granted.
I have managed to get 174 before the light came on after a lon run on the motorway, after AR12 actually.

Oh and FYI, on the pointy it's a 2 stage light, BUT both stages are flashing! At least it was on the k9. It is a bit like morse code, one is "short flashes" and the other is "long flashes". Can't for the life of me remember which way round it is but will check the manual when I get home to confirm the above is correct.

Think it was just the K3 that was weird with a single stage light. Maybe.

I've had the light come on after about 80 miles on my curvy but then I am a fat knacker and was ragging it at the time! Average is about 120-130 before the light

Usually 150 miles till the light comes on on my curvy then about 175/180 to the solid warning light. Got higher gearing and I'm mostly commuting at 85-ish on the mway but I weight 17st so that should even it out.

Ragging it does make a big difference though. Once ran out and had to push it three miles to the nearest petrol station as I'd been 'pleasure' riding and I only got a few miles after the solid warning light had come on.

I have a 650S K3 and usually get 110 to 120 before the light from full. I have a fuel tracking app which currently states I'm getting 44mpg average. I have done about 800-900 miles on the bike (this being my first bike) so recon I will be able to get that up a bit.
