As long as you're not ragging it everywhere, a good but rough indicator is 10 miles per litre.98-99 bikes have an 18 litre tank, so riding sensibly you should expect 180 miles.i`ve nevr done 180 miles on a tank it`l do 150 sensible riding two up with luggage 100-120 when playing (normal riding )ps: i`d never run it till it ran dry as you just pull any shit / grit into carbs not good

It's all about the fun after all (warning light comes on at about 220) but I've only tried it a couple of times to see what I'd get, generally refuel when it's about the 220/230 mark.
It is, honest guv A while ago we had same sort of discussion on here, I opened the breather hole in the filler neck and means I get more petrol in the tank.
Mine's a 98 so must be 18 litre. If I'm getting 150 miles to 11.5 litres I should easily be able to get another 50 miles before refuelling. I think I'll test it out at the weekend rather than on the motorway on my commute

I get 250km (155 miles) on my 03 foxeye, then reserve light comes up.I guess something's wrong then?I drive pretty hard though.

Same here with breather opened up. Get about 190 before light comes on and good for easy 25 miles after - fills about 18 litres. 90 mph on motorwayfor 30 odd miles then ducking and diving round London.
