996 Bip - General road riding approx 115-120 miles to fuel light. Never tempt going beyond a further 20 miles after that on reserve.
Usually fill up at next station after 100 miles on the trip.

Thanks paulk but I have just had the light come on at 78 miles!!!!!!!!!!

Weeksy,

When have you ever seen 100 miles from a fill up..???

Based on your antics this year we doubt you ever put more than 4 quid in at each petrol station visit ....

Do you ever run out in the van ..???

I manage 3 donuts a ride out if that helps .?? they are a great aid to keeping the front wheel down ....!!!

On my 996bip I get about 100-110 miles on a good day and 80-90 on a bad, or is it 80-90 on a good and 100-110 on a bad.

Weeksy....
 

.....never runs out of petrol in the van, he just keeps it topped up with diesel!!!

Spirited road riding :ninja: I regularly get 120 miles to reserve light and that's with a 14T on the front.
Conservative estimation of remaining fuel (3-4litres) means I must fill up within 20 miles. No problemo:o

Is it standard gearing? If not that could effect it.
Or are you just mullering it everywhere? :lol:

I\'ve seen low readings like that ...
 

If you're doing small trips, caning it down the dual carriageway.

I reguarly get only 90 miles till light on and concure with 20 miles reserve.

My bike runs quite rich due to chip installed which could cause these figures. What pipes & chip are you running?

I never really noticed any difference with gearing change.

Havent changed gearing myself (apart from 14t front) but other people have with mixed results. When talking about sprockets on vtwins.cc Guido mentioned it ...


Guido / Guy - have you come out of hiding from bonfires yet?!

Invariably 85-90 miles to light.
20-25 miles on reserve.
Do give it a bit ;) and have 14/39 gearing and 50mm Termis + JHP chip though so???????

Oh yes, I forgot before the ****gers join in, I weigh more than your average bear dont we Weeksy, Dibble, Rocket, and so on and so forth

About 100/125 depending on traffic ;)

:) Well people, the gearing is 15/F,36/Rear
and I do give it a bit most of the time :devil: Sadly in the far north where I live I have 85 miles to the first dual carriageway :lol: As for pipes it is as it came out the factory.

Thanks for all the replies ;)
