fuel
whatever you do, don't use supermarket fuel (Morrisons), it's crap.
My SV650S shudders like hell between 60-80 mph, it's fine after that but I reckon I lose 5-9 mph at the top end. Stick to well known brands like BP or Shell. Black SV650S (2000) |

Excellent
 Therehas to be a market for that, surely? Not for me, but farm use, that sort of thing... Not to mention bikers on a budget.

Aye, but when all you need is a low-performance efficient mover- ie you're chasing a sheep on a hillfarm, or similiar, or you're wanting a cheap-to-run commuter, it'd make sense... Especially for farm use, where you've got access to red diesel, or is it pink, for of-road-use only...

I get about 130-140 before the light flashes, then you're probably safe for at least another 20-30 miles. Most I've ever done is 175 miles on a tank, and it was a bit scary towards the end. |

Mine goes about 150 miles before the flashing light. I then do another 40 miles before refilling. I do this EVERY week commuting to work. She's pretty well running on vapors by then . My best estimate is that it holds only 15.8 litres not 16 like it's supposed to
