Mileage

If I fill my tank, with the bike on the side stand, I get around 130 miles before the gauge goes into the red. I don’t know if this is good or bad, how many miles to the tankfull does everyone else on here get?
I should mention, my bike is a 1979 KZ 1300. imported from sunny California.

Lol depends on what tank your running with US was smaller

It's that size.

That's the smaller US one 130 ish sounds about right to me on that tank

The reason I was asking is because my bike seems to use a lot of fuel, I know they are renowned for high fuel consumption but mine drinks it like it was a V8 or something. :ohmy:

I never got better than 42mpg and thats an imperial gallon. There were a few places round Oz that fuel was unavailable and I could stretch it to get 42 by sitting at about 105kph (65mph) but as soon as I upped the speed a bit I was at risk of not making that stretch at night when some towns are "closed till Monday". That is so they can have a day off to polish their necks till they glow. :silly:
