Only manage about 100 on the CBR on the same amount of petrol.

I got 186 out of doris last year. That was including Fizz's rideout and then a 'cant find a petrol station open in devon at 7am on a sunday morning' momnet. That was well into the reserve, like only id say about .3 of a Litre left in the tank.

I have done on a motorway trip when i 1st got the bike, got 208 miles out of the sv but that was to the point of conking out and having to walk to the garage. All on regular unleaded.

I plan on swapping back to the old stuff to see what it like...

I'm running in my K5 at the moment, Only 120 miles on the clock. But I only managed 110 miles between fill ups! Is this normal? I would have thought that nursing it around at under 5K would have resulted in 140PLUS!

Well as your engine is still not beded in I wouldn't panic to much...

Coldish and a little wet.

(Mpg 53.34) KM per Litre:18.88 Pence per mile:8.26 £11.24 for 136.1 miles

Still wet and not so cold...

(Mpg 52.57) KM per Litre:18.6 Pence per mile:8.55 £12.09 141.3 miles...

Might try to see how long I can run it before the light comes on when I'm taking it easy. As the only time its appeared at the moment is when I've raged. As I only used 12 llitresof fuel I should have another llitresbefore the light comes on. So atleast another 10 miles of tank range. Oh and the fuel price had gone up. its now 98.9 ppl rather then 96.9 ppl.
