All I know is that I got a massive shock - everyone warned me but I didnt listen - for a nights worth of cruising I can use like 1/4 tank or more, Going out long drives on dual carridge way its much betetr than stopping and starting cruising about town.

My dad says for £15 I get about 70-80, and no it doesnt have a fuel leak!

iwould say around 75 but it also depends if you do stop and start journeys. Like if i put a £35 full tank then i get around 180 miles in a week where if i used the whole tank in one or two days id get aroung 250 miles

90 specs are the same engine mate.......

Sounds like u may need to get it setup if ur using to much fuel, i remember when mine was in standard form running 8psi, on standard fueling setup, it was quite good compared to now.

Worth getting it checked out, but just thought, u say yours have covered 115k, i think they use more fuel the older they get, as alot of us on here have rebuilt engines so everything is nice and tight

I get about 80 miles to £15. running 15psi. Noticed the cost difference when I jumped back on my bike 175 miles to £15.

Full tank gets me about 290 Miles.
Setup really helps as does silly things like regular servicing.
