250 miles from a tank.

[darrsi]

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

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

I wouldn't bother with 2mm, there's already a 3mm hole there. I tried 5mm first, and it still took forever to get the last 2 litres in. 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
