  1. Bit daft if the light goes on after you've only emptied 2/3 of the tank.

    On the 999 it goes on after about 11 litres with 3 more to come.

  3. From my experience 10l is about right for the light to come on. Pretty sure is does say in the manual. I'll have a look.

  4. Tested mine today...light on the off then on then off then on...eventually about 85 miles and on fully...33 miles later (!) filled up with 12.3l. So 120 max I reckon, and wasnt a fast Sunday ride, mostly m'way speeds on dual carraigeway

  9. Don't worry.........There's gonna be a new, sleeker, shinier, faster, more economic model in the shops soon.

    My mate heard about it in the pub :upyeah:

  12. Not been out since mate, but just about to go to Bikesafe so should have a better idea soon!

    Can only improve, what with having to observe speed limits for the rozzers and that!!:wink:
