Who'da thunk. Triple the engine size requires more gasYep. I'd say im around 160kms before the light goes on, major sad face compared to the R3.

It's not so much that as it is triple the engine size, so how about a slightly larger tank? I love the fz but the fuel range is a deal breaker for me. I'm not stopping for gas at less than 300-350km.Who'da thunk. Triple the engine size requires more gas
Lol. Come on my gsxr. 200 km before gas light and I do 100km a day in the summerIt's not so much that as it is triple the engine size, so how about a slightly larger tank? I love the fz but the fuel range is a deal breaker for me. I'm not stopping for gas at less than 300-350km.

Yeah I know. I like 1000km days as well and I'm never far from fuel. I could easily ride an fz with no fuel issues, I just prefer not too. Part of why I like adv bikes, comfort, performance and huge tank range.Lol. Come on my gsxr. 200 km before gas light and I do 100km a day in the summer
100% we all make our sacrifices. Riding my bike saves me like $10 a week vs driving my sierra. Pay to playYeah I know. I like 1000km days as well and I'm never far from fuel.

You guys werent kidding about the Fz being thirsty...compared to my little honda this thing can drink!
Fz09.org says we can squeeze 15L in with no mods if we take our time. I'll give it a shot today or tomorrow, I expect this will net 200kms before the fuel gauge flashes.
I have done 200 of hard twisties in PA until the light came on. Commuting normally comes on at around 190km .... but I have the Vcyclenut map and an M4.Yep. I'd say im around 160kms before the light goes on, major sad face compared to the R3. But i hear its all about that off the line acceleration, so i'm going to try to be more moderate next fill up just to see what happens. For reference i tool around town in 3rd or 4th between 60-80 kms.
I did notice an eco light flashing occasionally(thought that was only with kawis) if you take it easy in the 6th gear you can probably get 200kms...
Apparently 200km+ on the FZ is possible, maybe after the engine breaks in a little more?
lol the eco light on the fz09 is as equal as useful as the eco light on my jeep, it never comes on unless I have fallen a sleep on the wheel
I dont have any delusions about my riding ability(average at best), especially on cold(and new)tires on damp winter roads, so i do occasionally ride like a grandma
I put the traction control to the test last week on a damp road, worked pretty well.
Did you notice it flashing?

What the avg litre per 100km reading on your bike right now?
Running stock i was around 5.6, now with a full system and a flash i'm averaging 5.8.
Damn i literally just reset it too and i dont recall. If i had a gun to my head id say it was in the 5s somewhere.
