very weird, today i rode my 2007 990 and the fuel light came on at 95 miles. i've been getting 160+ on a tank in the past. just changed the oil today. i noticed the bike ran better today than ever. it has 17k on it,valves??
That's a great way to find out your range , turn one tap off and let it run out . you should have double the range then.
Oh man, I've actually seen the fuel light come on at 100mi under city driving conditions (with both tanks open, '07 990). BUT, I've also seen the fuel light come on at 170 mi cruising across Wyoming... Just depends on the conditions I guess. Having all the gas turned on def helps, but lower gearing hurts... Until you twist that throttle!
Yeah, that pump doesnt take up much space at all. I would say 250 mls is too high, probably a lot less. With the injected bikes fuel consumption will be all over the board depending on conditions. I can get as low as 30 mph near sea level pounding the throttle in sand and rock, or I have gotten 56 mpg cruising along near 4000 meters elevation.
They definitely like elevation. I rode the Durango-Dolores-Rico-Telluride-Ridgeway-Silverton loop a week ago in some scattered showers and got 46 mpg without ever using 6th gear.
The best i'm getting atm is 330 k's per 22 liters the worst 250 Fuel type makes a difference. I rekon if i could sit on 100 kph i'd get 350 maybe more?
I've had 370ks before I got to gas station with about half litre left...long straits crusing at 120klm tail wind
I'm lucky to get 200 around Shitney before the reserve light comes on but on the highway I'll get about 300 odd. It's apparently all in the wrist
my 990 varies in mpg more than any bike i've ever owned. all depends on whyat type of riding i'm doing. in lots of stop and go riding i've gotten as little as 90mile before light. in mostly highway as much as 160miles before light. probably sumething to do with teh crappy fi at the lower rpms on the bike.
I thought it was much different , sorry . A friend of mines 990 ran out of gas before my fuel light came on my 950 . We had maxed out our tanks because we knew the fuel stops in western Montana were spaced out .
Lots o little diff. , mine has a single Jardine with Headwinds prefilter and rejet . While he has Akro's prefilter and stock map . No a fair compario ...
2010 990R 1800 mile trip with a good mix of interstate,secondary and dirt roads with side and top case, stock windshield and 908RR front and rear 43mpg overall. A low 37 on interstate at 80ish, high 44mpg secondary roads. Stock MAP with FMF mufflers.
My 2009 990R with Akro's with Akro Map has averaged 40 Mpg the last two trips as well as running around locally.
