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

Did you get the Gumby for its fuel consumption Rob?
I would take it back on the grounds of false advertising especially because it uses more than a 6

Hmm crim gets 200 before light doing putty trips

Yep thats about what I used to get on the Gumby.

that's what had me scratching my head, 160 seems pretty poor
Thanks Rob, so I'm not going crazy
Oh & up yours Jonno!

Yeah on the Crim I used to get around 200. 160 seems light on pardon the pun

Eh, no hope of anywhere near 200ks before my crim pings on the light!

More like 160km's... sometimes less! I commute in the city so its all stop/start/stop shit!

About 170 till the light came on on mine. Slow down ya hoon

Your welcome

All depends how hard u ride & where. I got 300 out of mine on a freeway run. Boring but ok. A spirited run in the twisties sees the light on at 180-200

Thats about all i got out of mine when it was on the road, mixed riding as u described, i once ran it out... on purpose to see what i got from full to running out, from memory it was 195 of 205 Ks

Funny tho, after the pipes, pipercross race filter and custom mapped PC3, it got worse... i thort it may have got a tad better.

The light does come on very early.. pain in the arse now, as i only run enough fuel per session, and the light comes on after a lap or so.

I seemed to get 180-200 on mine before the light.

I will check again this weekend.

I never go overboard when filling mine and normally see 185 before the light comes on.
According to the maual, light coming on should leave you with 5ltrs till empty

Thanks for the info guys

160! I wish!
