Hi all
      2011 rt1200  fuel light comes on at 230 miles ,would this be common on the rt ? Averaging 260/270 per tank.
                                Thanks

I think it is, mine came on and it showed 50 miles range.

Sounds reasonable to me, what was the remaining range.

Ok , there was 35 remaining.
Guess that's about average so. I've heard of people getting 300ml per tank ?

300 miles is achievable, on a trip from Portsmouth, the miles completed + the remaining range came to a total of 380 miles on a tank full of fuel.

Mine comes on with about 50 miles left in the tank. David, are you based in Portsmouth?.

No, sorry for any confusion, I was riding back home to Teesside after meeting a friend off the ferry.

That's a shame would have loved a meet up

On my recent trip to Italy I was getting over 300 miles per tank.

I get 61mpg which gives me a range of about 330 miles to a tank, reserve light comes on around the 280 mile mark. That's using Tesco's E10 and commuting to work and back.

With mine, I filled up with the range showing 29 miles after approx 220 - 240miles, it only took 20l to fill it.

Doctor T - Bob 21 is quite near you.  He's a great guy who you might like to ride out with.
