I believe its just a one time result by far with just a full tank right...not an average of like 3 to 5 full tank result. You have to understand that thought the route you take daily to work or ur usual routine may be the same, but the inevitably road traffic conditions fro traffic lights to traffic density are never the same..so is ur behaviour of ride nd load for that particular full tank. moreover, your bike is getting older by the day and so is its status in condition..not ever stay the same. Hope you undrstand what I'm trying to say.

 

Just monitor for another few full tank and see how things goes for ya. Just knows that nothing ever is "consistant" and "Change" is always a "constant".

Hi, Iinstalled air horn too. just below the head light and behind the no. plate.

 

BTW, Mine S4 spec 3. FC 385km left 1 bar.

 

Anyone can tell me how to determin when my fuel is hitting the reserve?

as i read our 18L tank, 4L is reserve and when the meter 6 bar become less then 1bar the display start shown running from right to left in repeat pattern.

Wow... 385km left 1 bar? Wish my FC was like that...

Once your fuel hit reserve, the bar will show from left to right continuously....

What did I do wrong? why my bike's apetite better then my food intake? Maybe after I hit the 3L reserve then I will reach 385km cum push to petrol station. wuhahaha.

[alexbong]

Hi, Alamak sorry wrongly calculated:faint:. shld be 288.7km/13.055L. means 22KM/L. So this FC good or not? I mainly cruising at ard 100km/h and travel ard 65km/day. Not really 'chiong' stlye.
