S4r fuel consumption

Lee1980 · 27-Sep-2005, 23:36

Cant believe how quick the light comes on, last time at near 60 miles, and got in about 11 litres so this means the light is coming on and working correctly, when about 4 litres left as theres only 15 in the tank.

This seems real quick to me, I do mainly town work in the week and a roads on the weekend. Guess it may be just down to the 15 litres tank?

Only mod is akrapovic can set up by dealer

Mine used to come on round the 90 mile mark, sometimes stretching to 100, but that's because I ride so economincally

Seriously 60 miles is very poor get the fueling checked out by an expert.

Thanks I thought it was quite low, was thinking fuel level sensor may be faulty but when i can get in near 11 litres means its working ok, so its a tenner to do 60 miles

16.6p a mile lol

Nat its not the cost really its just how often im filling up, plus if its running to rich wont performance be down?

As i find it the front dont come up as easily as i thought it would in first, even up to 8000rpm the front dont come up should it?

Only mods are the akrapovic can and dealer tuned
