90 miles today , 748r with 50mm termi's.

Or more to the point, how many miles do you get once the light comes on, managed 28 on my old yamaha, how does that compare to the ducati?

'Bout the same. I'd allow for 25 miles. I've done over 30 once or twice, but that's really pushing it...


Plus, y'know, it's not really a good thing to use the very last drop of fuel in your tank; it increases the risk of crud (or water) from the bottom of the tank getting into your rinjectors.

Seeing as it has stopped raining... I just finally emptied a tank - 140 miles as the light came on :)

The less the better!!! I just keep pouring it in. It's the main vice in my life.
If the worlds oil is going to run out , i want to die knowing i had my fair share.

Once upon a time, in the darkest, deep night in torrential rain in the middle of nowhere in France on the way to the Bol, I managed 47 miles on my 748SP with the fuel warning light on. I can tell you I was worried and doubly relieved to when I came across an open fuel station on the autoroute.

748 with termis

Thanks ath748, glad i'm not the only one riding in a reliability trial.
LESS IS MORE.
