I have been intrigued by the mileage on this bike.
When I first got my Rocket Ride I was only commuting and occassionally hills riding twisties etc,
I was getting around 200-230km before fuel warning meter came on (F flashing saying 1 - 5kms before empty)
Following last years run to Phillip Island MotoGP,
I noted one length I stretched it out to around 400km's on a tank!
But when I filled it up I was still only to get about 15L into the tank (which raised my interest)
Side note-About 3 weeks ago I opened the airbox by removing the snorkel and base of the intake area.
To this current week.
My trip-meter was reading around the 230km's when the fuel warning came on.
F is flashing and stating only 5km's till empty, rode home from work no worries
Next day warmup before ride to work -F flashes saying 12km's till empty
That afternoon -warm up at work -F flashes saying 16km's till empty
Still haven't filled up
This morning warmup before ride to work -F flashes saying 21km's till empty
got to work no issues, look in tank still some fuel splashing around in there!
Does anyone have any insight to the mental retardation that my trip/ fuel meter is suffering?
