How many total miles do people get out their monster before filling up? My 03 M800sie has a 14 liters (3.698 gallons) tank and I get about 44 mpg. I can only get about 110 miles (after a full tank) before the fuel light comes on and since the reserve tank hold .89 gallon, I can get about 40 more miles before I need to fill up again. Does this sound right? I heard others saying they can get about 300 miles out of the Monster.
you know, i don't even know what a full tank is. it would seem that my light comes on rather quickly when i ride. for me to have any idea, i would have to run almost empty but i never know how close i am. my zx-6 had a gas gauge and man all of my friends mad fun of me but i never once ran out of gas. but i would have to say i average about 90 or so miles until my light comes on, but i don't know what that means. ???

is that to bone dry or when the light comes on? or is a set # of gallons?

i always get scared and rush to the gas station when my light comes on. what happens if you do run out? would you have to prime the motor, or would it just start up?

theres a poll and thread started already in Tec on that exact Q ... ;D; you get all you need to know there; 03 M800ie - 110 miles to 12 litres; I haven't tried pushing beyond when the light comes on ...
Cheers D
I'm also on an 03 M800. I'm getting ~140miles when the light comes on. This is during daily commuting running on 87 octane. I'll usually get ~12-13L into the tank after that.
I get on average 130 miles per tank with my very non-stock '97 M750. . . & my fuel light is always on ;)
01 M750: I get exactly 150 miles out of a full tank. And my light as of 2 weeks ago never comes on. :(
Go ahead ask me how I know all this.
s4r steel tank, 12ish til the light comes on
I know that on this forum there's no such thing as a dumb question, only dumb answers [cheeky] ,so.. my question is..
is the odometer on the U.S. delivered bikes in miles or kilometres.

Odometer in miles, fuel in gallons (not Imperial).
130ish to the light, 1999 M750 ~

S2R 800, about 110 miles when the light comes on.
My light stopped working about 4 years ago.
I can go 170 before I fill on a 96 M900
I usually fill at 150 and it will take about 3.5 gals.
Never road bone dry but did do 136 or 137 miles. Would like to do it at least once and see what happens.

2005 M620, open air box, PCIII and DP exhaust
about 110 mi when the light comes, so the same as most on here - usually go another 20-30 mi before gassing up and have never run out
Monster 695 Stock got about 120 before the light came on.
Now my 1098 gets about 90 before the light comes on [laugh]
I usually get right at 150 miles with 3.2 gallons per fill up.

Ditto - stock '05 620
I never go more than 150 miles before filling up, except for once when I did let it run out at 172 miles. My tank will hold a little more than 4 gallons. (2000 m750).
110-120 before light comes on depending if all highwya or not.. then i know i have around 1 gallon left at 45mpg... made it up to 154 before refilling once and put in 3.0 gallons, only 0.25 was left in the tank about.. so it was time.. that was all highway riding too.
I got 200 once on my '00 M750 (while desperately praying to the spaghetti monster for a gas station)
My '97 M900 gets 120-130'ish but I haven't pushed it...that's just when the light comes on.
I'm a skinny chick, so YMMV.
Light comes on at ~130 miles. I've run it to 155 once and I thought it must be almost bone dry. Filling up after 140 miles I can get ~3.2 gal.
2007 S2R 800 stock gets about 120 miles before the light comes on about 45 mpg
2004 S4r, full exhaust + PCIII (custom tuned, 114hp)
80 and the light comes on (city riding) [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
120ish on a stock '07 695.
Pushed it to about 145ish with the fuel light on before refilling.
2005 M1000ds. About 80/85 to the light in the city. Long rides I have seen the light go on at around 135/140 sh.
08 s4rs full termi system w/airbox mod and dp ecu.
anywhere from 65 to 75 miles before the light comes on. I went almost 19 miles with the light on and it was on vapers. Put about 3.2 gallons in that day.
It's funny because it doesn't get much better economy on the interstate. I did the math and in town it's about 29 mpg. On the interstate it was about 31. Granted the run on the highway was about 45 min's of 90 to 110 mph.
I figure I would be very lucky to get 100 miles out of a tank. I run premium and am not shy with the throttle.
my gas light turns on when my bike starts sputtering cuz im already outa gas, ask me how i know. haha. i normally fill at 100 to 150 and put in 3 to 3.5 gals. most i have put in is a hair over 4 gals.
I get 142 miles on my 04 s4r [thumbsup]
