Baghira Fuel Tank Capacity

Postby starfield181 » Sun Sep 18, 2016 1:47 pm

My manual says fuel tank capacity is 12.5l and reserve 2.5l. Daft question probably but does that mean 15l in total or 12.5 total of which 2.5 is the reserve. I Guess the latter but hope for the former. Just got back from a 200 kilometre run still on main tank and was wandering how close I was getting to reserve.

Thanks

I always run my bikes on reserve ...... when in town I get gas at 150km before getting gas. Mileage computed at approx 40+ m/gal in town and approx 50+m/gal on highway. I took a trip where my speed did not exceed 70 m/hr, 65 m/gal, going and coming ( only 2 gallons of gas ).

I hope this helps.

Thanks Jay. To be conservative, I will have to assume that the capacity to reserve is 10l I guess. Just filled the tank and it used 8.08l for 203.7kms on my Sunday run. In imperial terms that's 71.5mpg. Happy with that. Most of that was running at 50-60 sometimes a lot less on narrow country roads. Seems like with my style of riding 200kms before filling is a safe bet and the seat is so uncomfortable that more frequent stops are essential anyway.
