Fuel Overfill ?
 
With out wishing to crash the thread (Well it is fuel related) is there a fuel overfill pipe underneath my 748 ?

After ffilling up the other night I came back from paying and noticed it peeing out fule from one of the rubber pipes sticking out under the bike. I left it for a while and it stopped ?

Someone please say I overfilled it and theres no problem !

126 until the light 13l (200 km) on a 998S with 14 front sproket. After getting the PC3 set up by dynojet they said I would get worse fuel consumption (richened up the mixture) but lo and behold no change.

It could be that those of you who get less ride harder? but at the IOM I saw no signs of that I was cruising around. I wonder what Chillo gets??

managed to get 146 miles touring back through France.

my 748 averages around 110\120 miles before filing her up.

About 110/120 till the light stays on.
This is from a 24l tank though.
Don't do any motorway miles with the 998R though.
Best i have ever had is 180 and the light still wasn't on.This was on a 916sp3.

as low as ninty odd on my 748r but as much as 160 before the light came on when i did a weekend tour a few weeks ago (a lot of high gear cruising leaning in the tank bag - which is a good cure for aching wrists)

17lts = 231K's. This was with moments of madness and a bit of touring in the mountains of France. How do I know 231. My fuel light was shagged. Luckily I could free-wheel back down the hill.
