The most I got was 220 miles, with the reserve still left, I may have brimmed it to the max, I don't recall.I was probably driving easier then, recently I've been in a rush all week and driving at speed most of the time, got 190, still I'm interested to know how far the reserve will go in case I get stuck to refill.
I ran out once and had to push, I wouldn't like to push a heavier bike, surprisingly heavy bike I think. I hadn't ridden the bike in a while and must have mixed up the petcock positions, tried to switch it over and didn't get any better, worse still I'd passed the previous exit so couldn't even walk the bike back to a nearer station, dumb I know. I've two hard plastic cases fixed onto the sides and am tempted to keep about 2 litres of petrol in there, if I could get a conveniently small sized proper petrol container rather than an old drinks bottle.
I'm off to check the tank main and reserve capacity and come up with a figure.
