oohhh hoo... make full use of the handel bar space... ah potato... hhhmmm maybe can consider installing a tachnometer side by side with your vote meter...

ha.. i was tinking bout it oso.. but i use to mount a tachnometer on a wave.. it suck.. bike haven move off already 3k rpm... imagine a wave full throttle at 120km its 15k rpm.. .. tho not impossible. but confirm not on a normal wave like mine.

so i still doubt on it. unless its proven acurate. or at least the motor tiam or ppl who fix can confirm on tat..

I have not clock my mileage yet as i am still on my full tank. Trying to clock it now. Just wanted to know how much are you folks getting.

 

I saw some other post saying that X9 is getting 300+km and their fuel tank is 14.5litres

X8 is 12litres and 2 litres is reserve which means X8 has 10litres to run. According to the manual, X8 can travel 23km/l which will turn out to be at 230km for 10 litres. X9 has about 2.5litres of reserve and how can they get 300+km?

[Fass]

Milage is a very hard factor to determine because so many things affect it. Riding style, average speed, type of road (expressway, urban), passenger weight (incl rider), tire condition (proper inflation also), bike tuning etc. Dun sweat the small stuff unless you find that your mileage drops below the manufacturer specs

mine usually 270-290km before lights upz..

btw, x8 has a 12 litre tank, does that includes reserve tank too?

 

you actually travel 27-29km per litre for your bike which is quite good thou.

[potato]

12L include reserve.

if not wrong its 1.8L for reserve.

I have been cruising ard 100kpm on the expressway. so far i never ride till fuel indicator lit. i calculate i get abt 31km per litre. i use shell 98. i try using caltex fuel and they give better mileage but the engine more noisy, vibration and no power. so now switch back to shell 98.

[josh]

My side is constantly 290-300km before lighting up! Pump only shell V-power so far! As i run in my engine more, the louder it is becoming... Ask Mr Yap to help me check he say nothing wrong, but still getting rougher..

 

Maybe it just me! But millege is okay on my side, full tank usually around 16 bucks for my x8! Farest i've tried is 325km if i'm not wrong, didn't want to push further coz after all, new bike, engine is most impt...

WOW.... your mileage is good!

when u say louder, does it mean the engine or the exhaust?

[busytiger]

Hi X8ers,

 

Check with you guys when you pump full tank, does the fuel oil guage drop quickly BEFORE the 1/2 way mark, but AFTER the 1/2 way mark, the fuel oil guage is decreasing at a slower rate. I am also clocking around 270 - 280 before reserve light lights up. BTW also check with you guys do you have problems starting up your bike? Despite me twisting the trottle, I always need to attempt 2nd or 3rd time before the engine start up.
