reserve tanks

[steven182]

Don't suppose anyone knows how much fuel a reserve tank on a CBR 600 F2 holds? ran out on the way home just trying to work out how many miles I can get out of a full tank.

and FYI i did 100 miles off 9 litres the dealer gave me when I bought the bike. I was expecting better milage than that tbh.

I would imagine it's something around 4-5 litres. IIRC, my Hornet is 3.5 litres....

You were expecting better than 50mpg?

The reserve on my Hornet is good for about 20-25 miles - so about 3 litres.

yep its restricted at the carb so I just expected it wouldn't drink quite as much with a smaller inlet but oh well. but then again if 3 litres of my original 9 litres is in the reserve tank then I reckon I have better mpg than that.

dunno will fill to the brim tomorrow and see how far that goes should give a better idea

Thanks for your responses =]
