Tank range
Posted: Mon Aug 09, 2021 3:40 pm
Finally got round to finding out the range on a 12lt tank on the Ace.
Normal driving , A&B class roads , no dual carriage ways or motorways.
146 miles then the fuel light came on (orange).
After another 19 miles the orange fuel light changed to red .
After that it was around 1 mile to petrol station.
Had a look in the tank with the light on my phone , and basically it looked like a cup full in the tank.
Filled up the tank and it held 12.36 lt, the bike was on the side stand so possibly could have squeezed in another 1/2 lt had the bike been upright.
Be interesting to see the range other Ace riders are achieving , and any feedback.
Have had a extra fuel tank made, basically it’s just made to fit on top of the rack behind the seat in between the panniers . It holds 6.5 lt so basically it gives half the range again.
Happy riding.
