Dont use your air con- that uses loads of juice up!!...



I get to about 140 off a full tank b4 light on..

like anyhting- depends how u ride i suppose..

some more clever than me will be along soon to advise.....!!....

well that full tank did last me 2 15 mins motorway rides
and a trip to the cat and fiddle and back and i do push it a little

o and the bieks restricted so i guess i do have to push it a little more than full power sv

I only ever get a max of 120 before the light on my K5 so your doing better than me.

Be glad you don't ride in the city. I got 110 before the bike ran dry!

I usually get about 85 miles before my light comes on ( and I always use optimax)

I'm lucky if I make it to 120; 100 is typical.

You can save petrol by riding smoothly, not wearing baggy clothes at speed and not using high revs.

But TBH 140 is good millage for the SV and if you want any more you are going to take most of the fun out of riding.

i do about 150 to 160 till my light comes on

i have don 210 and still had 1L left in the tank

i do 30 miles a day mon to fri easy and prob 150 on a week end depending what goin on ie out on a friday night and if i workin weekend

should not use optimax all the time 1 in every 4 fill ups is ok or now and then

bit like changeing ya oil after every ride or sumin no need

Yep- 160ish on a tank before it flashes, more 'til it stays on. But I suppose that's 'cos I'm a wuss.

I still enjoy my biking though.
