You asked for it,
I will try to provide MPG numbers.
In real world riding, no one rides everywhere at 90- 100 mph, using the secondary at every turn, and 90 percent of the time.
I filled the tank as i always do up to the lower rim of the fill tube.
Then i set the trip meter to Zero.
I have been riding a little here and there for a couple of days, now.
My riding criteria for this MPG test is:
1. Primary only, I know it is hard to ride around on only the primary, but that is the goal.
2. Shift point is going to be at the most efficient engine RPM between 3K RPM - 4k RPM
3. Ride the bike in a efficient manner
Note; the primary provides plenty of power, and i am not lacking any power what so ever by just riding on the Primary Only.
This will be my First tank ridden like this.
So far I have gone 85 miles, and i have only used up the first 1/4 tank, so i am still at 3/4 full tank left.
I would think the first 1/4 at the top of the tank is probably the largest 1/4 of the tank.
But That does not seem to bad, for starters.
I will update as i go, maybe give a 1/4 tank by 1/4 tank Update, to rough in some mileage numbers per each quarter tank.
This will provide me some miles driven numbers per 1/4 tank, and will tell me which sections of the tank is larger or smaller, from a Oh crap i better get gas.
I will refill when i hit the reserve tank, that will tell me how much gas is left in the reserve tank, so I can calculate miles left in reserve.
I always thought that info would be nice to have, just for general basis numbers in case i am out and need to know how many miles can i get out of that last 1/2 or last 1/4 tank till I hit the no go zone, and have to start pedaling, or use my shirt as a sail, to get me to the next gas station.
Can I make it?
I will also give full tank to empty, #'s
