Maybe a previous owner of your bike as done the same? Do your knee recesses bulge excessivly? Does your tank fit very badly?
What a load of bollocks! :eek
You have two people that have never even spoke to each other confirming they put over 22 L in their tank without overflow. Why do you continue to believe that Yamaha print the truth?
If you would care to press your theory I have a FZS1000 in the shop now and will gladly run it low and fill it in front of your very eyes. It will take at least 22 L and not a drop will be spilled - the loser pays for the juice.
With a pedantic streak like this, I reckon you must be related to my missus!
By the way, the 100 mph Yamaha put on the speedo ain't really 100 mph either... :lol
And I don't recall seeing any Fazers doing the TT either. :rollin
Whale
On the Gas!
