You can open up the internal vent hole to 10mm, and add an extra 2 liters to your tank. Did it on my 98. I used to get 200 miles out of it then.
Just wondering, but what about swarf or filings in the tank after drilling?
I wouldn't over worry about the filings, there is a magnetic bung on the bottom of my 99. U can see it when u look straight into the tank.... ( see it slightly better when it's empty ) I hadn't a clue what it was until I seem crap stuck to it and when I put an extendable magnetic screwdriver in it got sucked to it lol. I'm sure even a very small air gap is fine, just make sure your vent pipe isn't caught or kinked under the tank, which has happened and the tank gets sucked in....
I think 10 miles per litre is probably a rough guideline, obviously depending on how you ride and in what circumstances.

What? I only get about 140-150 from full until red light comes on.....
