NC30 Fuel Tank Capacity?

Post by porndoguk » Thu Sep 02, 2010 9:49 pm

been out on a 240mile round trip today to the Head office in east yorkshire its the first time ive riden the bike for so long!

my back and neck are killing, great bikes but not good for long distance!

any way i filled up first thing this morning from reserve level ish? about £13 worth,

i cleared clock rode 92.4 miles and then refilled in doncaster, 7.47L @ 121.9PL = £9.11
then rode a further 42.0 miles and refilled in south cave on my way home, 5.12L @ 114.9PL = £5.88
then thought id chance the full journey from there without stopping, i didnt need reserve and i got to my local garage which i did 116.2miles refilled, 10.80L @ 113.9PL = £12.30

so my question whats the capacity from full to reserve?
reserve to empty?

and empty to full?

just so i know what range i can get from my bike im pretty impressed with the economy tbh i think there reasonable!

averaging about 10p a Mile! i guess thats ok at 48.9 MPG

I think the haynes manual lists the whole tank as taking 15 litres, with the reserve taking up 2 litres. I managed 220km on £10 at a steady 120-140kmh :)

14 litres'ish including the 2 litre reserve.

I get about 250km (150 miles) from full to reserve. (not hanging about either)
