Im heading to france on my '99 SV next month, and im having the carbs done before it goes on its long journey.

Also put some new spark plugs in to help fuel economy slightly, and also giving the bike a 4000 mile service.

Ive had some crappy JHS carbs in since the bike was restricted - pulling about 85-100 to a tank. Ive put some new carbs in, and the fuellings messed up low in the rev range (something to do with pilots?) but anyways, im getting it sorted next week.

The question is this: If im keeping to 70mph on motorways, how much tank range in miles would i be looking at before reserve? (Also gonna put a 5ltr jerry on the back in case lol)
