At last - a nice day!!! Since buying my 848 in January, the day before the snow came, i have just had a really good rideout to see how the 848 compares to my old 999! What a machine! Absolutely love it!! Just one downside........the reserve light came on after 60 miles of (reasonably) steady riding!! Anyone else getting these figures?? Maybe i need to get it in for a bit of a tune up??!! All in all,very happy!!
Seems a little low, as even on track I get to 50 before light comes on, road normally 70-90. You must have been enjoying yourself too much ;-)
I have the Termis fitted (with the baffles out naturally!) if that makes any difference to fuel economy at all??
I have a full system and can easily get 80 before the light. Either you're redlining it in every gear or something could be amiss. 60 does seem low. That's D16RR territory! probably a silly question but it was full when you went out?
It was a normal rideout with a couple of good blasts on clear road and i was lead rider with 2 mates that didnt know the roads,so wasnt a full on thrash. Oh, and the tank was full too - did a visual check before i set off. Will see how long my next tankfull lasts!! Fingers crossed it was just a one off - somehow!!
Mine is coming on at 70 at the mo, think I have a sender issue as it was always 80 plus unless really on it. Rode 25 miles, about as far as I would ever want to with he light on, and only managed 10l. So I'm going back to old fashioned mileage based and see what happens...
Usually get 90 - 100 out of mine before the light comes on, give or take a few. That was using the Super unleaded too, found that tends to do more miles to a tank than the regular stuff.
It took 10.32 litres when i filled it up so still another 5L left in the tank. I will try the super unleaded next time and see how much of a difference that makes!
