normaly around 120 if hard riding. 130/140 if easy before fuel light comes on. this is all nice and smooth on the throttle.
taps open everywhere more like 90.

Will get a average mpg for 3 tanks from full to solid light tomorrow.

Hi saoralba, i also have the FI restrictor and get the same miles per tank as you, it's the restrictor kit, i am now switching to the ECU as it will be a lot better for the bike.

As for fuel ecconomy, what sort of riding do you do? Town riding with traffic lights can make a large difference!!!

Hardly any town riding, all miles are fast A/B roads, only go into town maybe once a week.

ECU gets me alot better mpg.

Found a good deal on a K5 pointy.
Has 10000 less miles, and I price difference is going to be around 300-400 to make the difference.

I could probably squeeze 150 on the motorway going steady.

Enjoying myself I try to fill up at about 100 miles and that generally sups about 12 liters.

worst case I've had from full to the brim to solid amber (just as I pulled into the station) was 75 miles.

can get around 100 out of it I think though

Bloody restrictor kits
