Mind you, reserve is apparently 30 miles so that sounds about right!

'99 and I get 200 to the red light coming on. London commuting

Fuel's a weird one, 'cos i'm always in traffic, i dread to think what i get per tank, that's why i don't really wanna know?

Last time I checked it was working out about 49-50 per gallon. I do various riding, maybe about 50% 30-40 mph with gentle acceleration, but as soon as the national speed limit comes (the other 50%) I open her up good and proper. Not much sitting in traffic for me.

A quarter of a litre, even at 64mpg is just 3 and a half miles. Gulp, nearly a push job :eek

Opened it up to 8mm, and it was better.I can't see any hole in the filler neck of my 2002 foxeye. Does it have one and if so is it a the front or the sides, or does the '02 have a different arrangement.
I'm sick of standing there trying to top off the tank. With a brimmed tank I only need to fill up once on my 250 mile weekly commute.
BTW I regularly manage to get 23 litres in what is meant to be a 22 litre tank. :eek

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 :lol ) 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.... :eek
Not sure how your magnetic bung is gonna help my bike? :lol

I can't remember but I have more fuel going down hill than uphill or vice versa?!?
The orange light comes on a week and a half after re- fuelling and it stays on for the rest of the week until put in some juice.
if I put in octane 97 I pay more money but less fuel than 95, but I seem to average the same mpg?!? As Steve Hillage said, "It's all too much"
for my brain :pc
