Shit I just thought of something that is a lot of weight up high when the tank is full, I assume that petrol and water are a similar weight and water is 10.2 lbs a gallon, that's 49 lbs in weight up really high on the bike, that will make a huge difference if the bike gets away from you when manhandling around tight obstacles. :eek

Petrol is about 3/4 of the density of water so a tankful will be about 16 kg (or 35 lb if you like archaic units).
But you’re right, it does make a big difference particularly if you’re not very heavy yourself. I certainly notice the change in handling and acceleration after filling up… and I’ve dropped the bike twice in the past year, both times while manoeuvring (dismounted) with a full tank. It makes it a bastard to pick up again too.
