SV650 Tank Range
 
Hi all,

Im new here so first up - hello.
Second, I am looking at getting an SV650. I have searched round the forum a bit but couldnt really see an answer to the following - how far generally do you get out of a tank full on the SV650?

Cheers,

Andy.

I normally get 130 miles before the flashing light. Thats mostly heavy handed twisty road riding. :twisted:

Get a bit more when doing my 30mile commute down the A19

Curvey models
When Your fuel light flashes on and off....
thats when you go into your reserve...

Pointy models
on the K3+ it's when you get a constant fuel light...

there's no turn tap.

Just be aware when the light stays on (curvies) as this is your last litre-ish :wink:

I'm doing about 180-190 (MILES!) on a SK5 'til the light flashes. It'll probably drop as I get more excitable, but I'm mostly doing open road work.
