Average Miles Per Tank

Come on then who knows the average u can get when ya petrol light goes on, or should i say how much is left in the tank when the light comes on?

Use the search function, its been covered loads and loads and loads of times.

Depends how you ride, I always was around the 120 miles mark before the fuel light came on...

From brimming fuel light starts to flash on my K1 Curvy at 120 miles +/- 5 miles depending on how its ridden and thats with a litre left in the tank. Solid comes on at about 140 miles and you aint got much left after that !Read a thread not long ago that someone unlucky member ran out VERY FEW miles after the solid light - I always fill up as soon as the light starts to flash.

What would be more interesting as a post is how long it takes SV owners to post a thread about fuel economy...

A sort of: How long till you post about tank range affair.

I think 1000 miles.

I must be riding like a real pussy average 150, but did see 168 before flashing light came on once. Didnt even know it went on to a solid light. Scares me not having a fuel tap with reserve on

I always get 120-130 to solid light, but am always able to fit in just about 12 litres. meaning i has 5 litres left? handy tho, 10 miles/ litre

Un like me MR2 thats mre 20-22MPG :s

110 - 120 to flashing light , work on approx 10 miles per litre or 45 mpg

most I've put in is 15 litres and bike was started to miss due to lack of fuel , tank supposed to be 17 l I believe , the solid light had been on for 5 miles , so I recommend not going far on the solid light unless you like pushing ....

Cheers Steve

luckypants can get 180 out of his 650s and he dont ride like a pussy, me thinks he was running on fumes tho.

I've been commuting from Plymouth to Portsmouth (Fareham) for a couple of weeks and i'm really surprised in the difference i get. On a Sunday night when i leave i can get all the way which is 170 miles just as the light comes on but on a Friday afternoon i can get about 130 miles before i have to refill. I can only put this down to traffic and having to use the gears more. Changing the topic slightly. I'm so glad that i went for the SV, I think it's amazing how far i can ride without having to change gear, i ride the coastal route (A35) to Portsmouth and once i'm into 6th i rarely have to change, the engine just has so much pull. Just thought i share my opinion. Ride safe all.

I'm getting about 170 before the light comes on the comuting every day staying close to the speed limits and short shifting.
