So I just filled up after it ran out warming up in my drive way. It only took 12 litres (3.2 gallons).
I got 262km (164 miles) around town which works out to be 4.6L/100km (51mpg) - very good. Trip computer said 4.8L/100km (49 mpg) which I say is close enough (~250km from 12L).
Given the numbers (14L/4.8L/100km) I'd expect to get closer 290km though. I was testing the reserve and got to 50km. I was expecting empty at 80km so I was going to fill up on my way to work this morning. Very lucky I ran out in the drive way.
What happened to the other 2 litres?
My first hypothesis is measurement error - but the trip computer matches close enough.
My next hypothesis is that it can't pickup the bottom 2 litres while on the side stand. I didn't think to test this at the time.
My next hypothesis is that it can't be filled up to 14L while on the side stand i.e. you got sit on the bike to fill her up (dangerous/illegal).
Any thoughts?
