Re: Gumby Fuel Consumption
I get about 170- 180 out of mine when the light come on.
This is my signature and it can say whatever I want.

You're getting old and forgot to fill before the run .......robracer wrote:Got 160 Km before the light came on & there is meant to be 4 odd ltr left left in the tank, I refueled & put in 13 Ltr so my question to other gumby owners.... is this normal consumption for mixed city / twisty riding?
The 636 used to get well over 200 before the light came on


I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..

OK I Lied

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.
