So ive finally got my zxr, although, i havnt ridden it yet as i havnt actually got my license yet (test tommorow tho boys! )
However im abit apprehensive about there not being a petrol inidcator. What kind of MPG am i looking at? I guess the only way to measure it is by resetting your the trip clocks? How do you get by?
It could be just me being Old Mr Spooky-Giblets again, but does anyone else get a feel of when they need to fill up?
I mean without clocking the mileage and stuff - I just 'know'...
Generally I try to keep track of the mileage though. 80 miles on my ZXR was time to look for fuel and get ready to switch to reserve if the engine went funny.
The best way to do it?
Strap a can of petrol on the pillion seat and ride until you have to stop and put it in the tank!
On any bike i run it till i get to reserve then i have a benchmark of when i roughly need to fill up. But otherwise i usually fill up when the trip meter gets to 100 miles on my 7R even though it will easily do another 20 miles and then another 15 after that till i need to switch to reserve.
On my ZXR i think i used to do about 110 miles before i filled up. Think the most i ever got was 150 miles out of a tank before i hit reserve, but it does all depend on how you have been riding.
