    Just wondering what you guys get to a tank of fuel, by that I mean till the light comes on.

    Today I got 99 miles from full, I have the 15T sprocket so it's reading over too. Does this seem very uneconomical?

    Last bike I rode was a 600RR so I rarely see 6th gear but still!!!

    Is that on the road Rich? If so that is shocking!!! lol

    I'd expect to get low mileage on track, I do about 25-30 litres per trackday on the 750 but on the road you can't always go for it. I reckon with speedo correction it was about 90 miles today seems pretty low considering its spec'd to do atleast 130?

    Not sure about the actual miles before it starts to flash but trip computer indicates 10.5 miles/litre.
    Don't know whether this is a good thing or not;)

    On the road. I trailer my track bike so fill it up at petrol station 10 litres then a 20 litre jerry is used through out the day. I'm sure my Blade did 120 ish to the tank.

    The last run out was a relativity easy going one I got 130 ish before the fuel light came on, I'm a bit shocked they have a average mpg built into the display from memory it was about 49 mpg

    The GSXR 1000 k9 I had, fuel light always came on before 120

    I'm doing it about right on track then rich if I'm similar to you, after all you did beat the oulton 3 musketeers round cadwell (I'm gonna be castrated for that). If I'm anywhere near you on monday (assuming you move up!) I'll be a happy man.

    Mate, cadwell is your local circuit, you're quick. CC's don't mean shit, everytime I've been in inters recently its been predominantly 1000cc's and I've left em. Unless you're a pro engine size don't mean shit.

    If you understand the fuel computer (which many do not) you can see 150 - 180 from a tank.

    Handy on those longer 550 mile days from one end of France to the other in a day...

    Don't get sucked in YT. We saw 110 and a fuel light today.
    Well not me, just the three hooligans I'm with.
    Oh, hang on. I was in front.
    Maybe they needed the extra to keep up ;)

    I have a 2012 Blade and got 151 today
    average is 130 before fuel light comes on.
    seem to get a few more miles when I put premium unleaded in my tank, bike feels smoother too
    tend to stay away from supermarket carp, esp Tesco as I just don't like how they sell everything and take out local retailers, which I am not one of.

    Commuting for me I do about 165 miles between fill ups and the fuel pump said around 16.9 litres last time I filled up. On a run its much better I got 185 miles and that was 17 .2 litres when filled up.
