fuel consumption

[Ferg]

What sort of distance should i expect from a full tank in my 2012 america? every time i have filled it up lately i have forgotten to reset the trip meter!

 

[DaveM]

I always fill my one up around 130 mile but its a 2005 model so you may get better consumption than what I do with carbs

Hey Steve
If you ride like a well controlled mild mannered person such as myself...
you can expect to use about 5 to 5.5 l/100k.
I usually hit reserve about 240 or 250 k
however,my tank is 16 litres including 3 litres reserve, I'm thinking yours is a bit bigger.
Sketchy should be able to help,he has an injected speedy,but he rides like a nutter

Ooops I should have put that in KM so it would be around 230 KM and I will fill up

that works out the same as me Dave
You must ride in a sane manner to.

 

[DaveM]

Lol it would seem that way but also I am two up most of the time as well

oh dear
that would make my figures nothing to skite about then

 

[DaveM]

Well I am glad I never said that

 

[Sketchy Snr]

This nutter as you put it gets 310-320 then fuel light comes on, and thats about 15L. But I ride like a nanna

 

[Doug]

Averaged about 5l/100km(20km/l) on the economy run.Thats running at about 10% over the posted speed limit to stay on schedule.

[devo]

so.....I didnt get away with it then ?

 

[CarlS]

Not hardly!

 

[nbsdave]

I consistently get to 160 miles before the light comes on.
3.4-3.8 gal. to fill.

On my 2006 I would get about 180km of stop and go city riding in before having to switch to reserve, and about 230-250km of highway riding at 110-120 km/hr before hitting reserve.

You must ride nice and conservatively like myself R.
