After 110 miles the gauge still reads full, then the light comes on at half a tank at 140 miles, then time for a refill at 160 miles! Is that good mileage? I don't ride like a prat as I don't know how toAs an electronics engineer I did consider making a circuit to compensate for the non-linearity of the fuel sender, but took the easier option of getting used to it instead. :lol
Assuming you get mid-fifties to the gallon you should be able to get 200 to 220 miles from a tankful, the reserve light typically comes on very early though... I was sweating bullets the first time I exceeded 40 miles with it lit, but do so quite often now. A fill-up then is normally 18 or 19 litres which cuts down on time wasted at petrol stations.
