If it's 10 or 11 litres then you're bike is, roughly, in the normal M.P.G. or litres /100km range for unaggressive riding.
The tank has a capacity of 23 litres (from full to completely empty)
If you only need those 10/11 litres, or so, to re fill at your 155 miles then you still have 12+ litres left.
This then implies your f-trip is coming on prematurely but if you're putting back in, let's say, 15 -18 (ish) litres, your bike is in the 46 - 38 m.p.g and that could be anything from riding style to poor bike health. (dirty air filter / tyre pressures / chain tension / poor engine oil grade / vehicle loading, bla, bla, bla )
From memory the 'F' light should kick in with approx 4-5 litres left in the tank giving a rough range of 60-70 (100+ Km) miles before you're pushing.

Last time I think I bought 16 litres and now clock shows 170 kms and as I said before it shows 1 on 6. I never went on too many kms on F-Trip so don't know how many kms I can go on F-Trip. I changed air filter and motor oil recently and checked tires' pressures too. Vehicle is not loaded. But didn't check the chain. Generally I don't ride aggressively. Mostly I ride between 3-5k rpm. Should I try go on F-trip as much as I can to see how many kms I can go ?
