The 636 used to get well over 200 before the light came on :?
You're getting old and forgot to fill before the run ....... :twisted: :kuda:
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..
If it's got wheels or tits, it's gonna give you trouble !

OK I Lied :?: Musta bin thinking about the zx12

to and from the island I did some testing, I always joke about "fill it till it spills" but this trip was with a couple of H'Busses and a B'Bird so had to try and get some distance between fills.

Fuck me the tank is like the 'Tardess' on Dr Who. When you think it is full chuck another couple of litres in, itll fit. :kuda: I was getting around 230 before the light came on, and no we werent dribbling around town, think Reefton, Tolmie, Granya, Snowy Mountains etc 8)
