Was out for a spirited run with the missus onboard and saw the fuel light at 62miles after fueling up.... Wonderd if I had not filled properly or I had tripped the mileometer, refilled and 67miles later it's on again! :( normally get at least 76miles when hooning and even thats painful!
Gonna check I ain't got something nesting in me airbox making it run rich and if there ain't ive no idea what the fooks going on!
 
Speak to Trickymicky. He'll be well pleased somebody else getting terrible range!!
 
I cant work mine out , said I had done 17.5 miles since the fuel light came on at 77 but could only get 14.5 ltr in
 
The light on mine comes on early too,get about 12.5 ltr in if i fuel up straight away when its on side stand. I have done another 35mls after light , not alot left then!!!
 
14-14.5 litres and my fuel light is on. So i know i got 20-30 miles before i have to walk.... Got thewholey remarkable dizzy heights of 33 mpg this tank full. variable economy on these beasts, pedwan
 
Had me T over 3 years so I know how thirsty it normaly is... It seems to be running a wee bit 'rougher' at low revs since it came out of hibernation... Could be the throttle bodies out of sink or me pcIII has thrown a wobbler, might have to let the rocket centre give it a tickle... Garry?...GARRY!!
 
Thats ***** mate, i get 75 when having fun.
There's 4 litres left in when light comes on, I've done 35 careful miles with light on and got 17 litres in.

yep, mine's about the same...ignoring the fuel light (they mostly lie) it's always good for 100 (s)miles :yes
 
Mmmm, dont really check the mpg, havent got a clue what mine does, just moan under my breath when the fuel light comes on.
The old 1200 bandit I had years ago only managed 90 miles at 85 mph thereabouts. Good job there were plenty of late night fuel stations open
between valencia and madrid...
 
out for a trundle today and light came on at 95 miles, filled up to brim and took 12.7 litres :dunno
 
Ditto Brooksy. Took the Mrs out to Stanhope then Barney, 100 miles, filled up just over 12 litres. Crazy or what. Taking my time with her on the back, normally light on around 85 or so
 
steady away day today gf, first time out for the son since his spill but had a good run out.
 
Who the hell bought a tuono for fuel economy ? Fill it up use it fill it up again :lol Honda 50 step throughs are good on fuel !!
 
I actually got to 92 miles and no fuel light was showing so I stopped and filled up thinking that some italian soul had come through!!

It only cost me £17 but I was on dual cabbage way sat at 80mph!!

I nearly passed out not at the great mpg (normally get about 80 to a tank full) but the fact it hadn't gone wrong, that now 6months i have owned it and it's really great still..
 
I got 85 the other day but I think I was not completely filling the tank ,as my Dorsoduro would piss out fuel if you tried to over fill it
 
You Gen2 boys eh!

I normally get about 120 before the light comes on :yes
 
I have heard that you take the filler cap off and hack the filler neck down a bit so you could get another 1/2 gallon in. Also gets the hole slightly bigger than a 5p piece....
 
I don't even fill up with the bike upright, can't be arsed to spend forever dripping in pennies of juice and still get 130+ to a tank ;)
