... But where the FOC are you riding that you are desperate to fill up with less stops, than 14 Ltrs Africa- Australia.

In my case it's mostly commuting to work 40 miles away. Despite modding the tank (drilled neck and shortened filter) so that I can squeeze a 240 mile range out of it, it still means refuelling every 3 working days.Stopping for fuel that often does get to be a chore.
Hopefully stop me tugging for a 7th gear.
Ran out of fuel again. Fortunately I'd just got off the M4 already since I thought there was only 10 miles left in the tank, but hadn't made allowances for some slightly higher speeds recently.It's nice to know there's a "reserve" of a couple of miles... and shaking the bike around to get at it is good exercise.

Fingers Crossed hoping there is a lot of sediment/shit in the bottom of the tank.
So anyway --- where does all this sediment come from

Hey Partner Sharpie,Fancy a bit of extra income?How about going into business Yamaha have produced these filters that fit all of the Fazer models.They are manufactured to the highest standard made in stainless steel with a filter that never needs changing, Remove, Shake, Replace, known as RSR technology. They are made in Japan under licence to Yamaha, so they are not available from any other outlet and the patent design is protected.
