Re: (not on everyones mind) FUEL CONSUMPTION ZX12
I wish i didnt have to commute on it but with having to pay for a wedding and a new mortgage its pretty much commute or get a carninja12r wrote:I've been reading through the posts from Jamster85 and I was getting a little worried there as I'm going to put a Power Commander on mine and it's a 2000 mod but she can go through some fuel when you ride it hard, but I use to think it was good commuting to work everyday but not when your tyres costs a pretty penny & services, but it gets about 250 out of a tank most times I ride but it all depends on when you need to fill up to get home and they will tend to use more juice when you have a full tank as you more weight to contend with. But I always use Premium or the higher Premium too which I think she gets more milege out of the better one. I don't commute on mine anymore and bought a Hyundai Getz 08 mod and that gets twice the milege compared to the bike (of course). Like the other bloke said stuff worrying about fuel and love the power.

Re: (not on everyones mind) FUEL CONSUMPTION ZX12
does the ZX12 fuel guage work the same as the Z1000 ? First 4 bars stays on for ages and the last 4 dissapear. I get most of my riding on the first 4 bars, last 4 disappear in about 40-50km's

they just disappear in a steady fashion (although the first one seems to disappear quickly)
½ are gone at 140..ish (highway cruzin) and I have 35-40kms left with one bar
and I think thats how they SHOULD work
cheers
GOTTA LUV the 12R!!
