Fuel and tank questions.
 

How much petrol can a Pointy hold ?
Whats the Diffrence Between Unleaded and Super Unleaded ?
when the petrol light comes on on the Pointy how manny miles do i have before i run out ?

Im on a 33 BHP Ecu so it might be a little diffrent for me ... cheers !

Re: Some Questions.
 

A - 17L iirc
B - On an SV, imho nothing, on a 40k race tuned Ducati anout 10 bhp.
C - Depends in your wrist action, round town for me once it starts flashing is about 20 miles or so till it goes solid, on solid the furthest i dared was 8 to 10 miles.

D- Restricted - dunno if it makes a difference at all.

Fill up when you need to.. and just use reg 95 but occasionally super from BP or something to clean out your engine (i believe all the hype)

Re: Some Questions.
 

Super is a waste of time in our bikes. Not sure about the pointy but the curvy has half a gallon (25-25 miles) after the fuel light first comes on.

Re: Some Questions.
 

As above, but this might help in terms of the numbr of miles after the light starts flashing.

Most bikes can't take advantage of super unleaded, etc - you need a knock sensor and adjustable ignition timing to take advantage I believe. I only really know of BMW putting that on bikes tbh.

Re: Some Questions.
 

On the curvy, the super unleaded stuff really reduces carb icing in winter.. a lot.
No power gains to be had I don't think.
The restricted ECU shouldn't give you any worse fuel economy. The FI international kit however will seriously cap the miles you can do to a tank. On a pointy anyway. I don't think it's as bad on the curvy :-D

Re: Some Questions.
 

Never enough...

About 10p per gallon...

Depends on the bike. Probably around 20miles if you have a standard SV650s. If you have a Friday afternoon special designed in twenty minutes by six blind monkeys with typewriters, handbuilt by the Devil himself and dropped at speed off the back of a truck by a band of shadowy figures it can be anything between 20miles and none whatsoever...






...yes, I AM looking to replace it, how did you guess..? ;):rolleyes:
