    I get about 100 to the light on my 954. It's a lot older so may be more thirsty but that's a mix of around town and twistys. Hardly ever any dual carriageway.

    So you are revving the tits out of it in the lower gears and spending very little time at low revs in higher gears? Nuff said;)

    I've had over 150 when touring so a steady 80+

    But when having a blast. Got as low as 90 miles until the fuel light

    one thing I hate about the new blades is if it goes on to reserve
    then you stop and start the reserve counter sets back to zero
    again instead of recording the miles covered on reserve.... unless mine is faulty

    I get this only if the bike is left on the stand after the light comes on.

    From brim to reserve I get 125miles with amazing consistency, this is for a half motorway at naughty speeds plus filtering in heavy stop start traffic.

    My bike isnt returning any extra with the power commander fitted, but I haven't had the bike mapped.

    That sounds about right... I did a 160/170 mile round trip from full, had to fill up again and was on the light as i pulled into my drive, seemed to get a lot more out of the 600rr and that was always at 8/9K revs!!
