Is your tank bigger than our model? I normally hit reserve around the 200km mark and about 180 if it's ridden hard.

Nelso my ZRX was like yours when I got it- 13km/L and that meant reserve at around 192km, every time it seems. Got it jetted on the dyno as well as removal of the catalytic convertor (grind three welds in headers under muffler and it's out) and now get 18/19km/L. An extra 120km per tank! Only get 19 when pussing around but more like 16ish when fanging.
300km for a tank now is the usual. Can bank on it.

Sounds about right, I would get the same if wasn't chasing a certain red ZZR600

Best I got out of my ZZR1100 was 487km out of one tank. A licence saving 100km/h trip to Sydney.
