Did you have a solid fuel light when you squeezed 16.8 litres in?
Light had been solid for around 17 miles before I filled up that time, maybe a little more. To be honest I left it a bit later than usual that time. I normally get four days between fills and only take just over or under 16L. This time I had a bit of extra mileage from test runs after doing the brakes, plus some more starts and stops so a bit more miles ridden and a bit of extra fuel used.


I guess the only way to be sure would be to run out, then push the bike to a petrol station and see how much it takes. I'm not that dedicated.
