First good ride on XTX
 
Had my first decent ride in the cotswolds yesterday - brilliant area for riding this kind of bike and next to no traffic to get in your way; I would recommend the back lanes to anyone.

Raised a question though about the fuel consumption more namely the fuel warning light - it came on after 116 miles filled up at 130miles and it had only used 10.6 litres!!
If the tank holds 15, is that not a bit premature or is this normal for the model? I reckon there should have been another 30 miles left in the tank at this point.

Thinking about it my Fazer 600,s warning light comes on when there is still a gallon left in the tank.

Cheers Daveb

My fuel light comes on at any thing between 120 and 130 miles I fill to the baffle plate the the fuel nozzle go,s through ! I was out yesterday and did 150 before refueling. Hope thats the answer you are looking for.

I use mine for short commutes every day, about 5 miles each way, so lots of cold starts and traffic light get-aways.
The last two times the light has come on at exactly 84.6 miles.:icon_surprised:
It flickers on and off for a few miles and is fully lit by 90 miles.

I fill up on 100 miles and get in 10litres to the bottom of the baffle plate.

Yep hold 15 liters and the Feyul light comes on with about 5 liters left. But how far would you like to push it???

In that case I reckon there should be 40 careful miles left once the fuel light comes on - If I am wrong I'll let you know

one of the midland lads carried this test out and found he was just short of 50 miles,i trust him but never have gone more than 15 miles.

I think the fuel light will come on at different times due to the positioning sometimes. Its the same in some cars if your on a hill the fuel light will come on and once you hit level group it will go off.

But the XT's light is suppose to come on when you have 1 gallon left in the tank. But ive also had the light come on and filled it up and found only got 9-10litres in.

It a Yamaha, the fuel sender is a randon number generator......

my XJR sometimes shows one bar less than full - after I've just brimmed it at the filling station! The Z has a mind of it's own too, even had the gauge flashing at 90 miles (OK, so very hard miles - but the tank was still 3/4 ful)

Only the TTR is accurate, when it stops - I'm out of fuel!!!! :icon_salut:
