Filling up while sat on it allows you to keep the bike (and hence the tank) more vertical and as such allows you to squeeze a bit more into the tank; not a whole lot of difference tho. I've noticed petrol stations occasionally think you're about to do a runner if you do this though.

As for resetup with k&n and exhaust, assuming you're talking just a replacement drop in air filter into an unmodified air box and a slip on end can rather than a full system, my hunch would be that no new setup is required.

Hmm, I'm only getting about 100-110 before the light, but that's mostly commuter miles into and out of town, never getting above about 40mph. I'm a bit of a wimp and haven't ever let it run dry so I dunno how much i'd actually get out of a full tank.

You've just got to raise the nozzle a bit at first, and then as it gets towards the top, raise it some more and don't squeeze as hard to stop it tripping the back pressure on the pump.

Wouldn't sit on it and bim it by the way.. It'll just go down the overflow as you turn/lean.

On the Kwak i can get 155 till fuel light if i am taking it easy with my Daughter as pillion. so that is probably about a good 177-180 till dry maybe more.

Even when riding a bit more briskly i can get 140-150 till bone dry.

i get that 2

well, on the way back from work today, fuel light flashed, so i pulled in to the next petrol station, which luckily was about a mile away. i put in £14 worth, and that filled it. also, i had the nozzle in to the left side of the tank (i was still sat on it) and it seemed to fill much better than the other day.
so, next question, how much fuel is there when the light first starts flashing?

i need to work out how to set my trip first, then i will see what im getting to my tank.
at the moment, im gunning it, kind of un-intentionally, as i dont realise how fast im going. im still unsure as to whether the speedo is reading correctly. is it likely to be out?

i just got 150 and that included my blast to brighton and back on sunday.
But the light came on and went off depending if i was on a hill.

just set your trip B to 0 every time you fill up, and then use A for what every you want.

good point how much is left when the light comes on solid, and how much when it flashes??
