My S4R has a 14L tank (apparently?) im only getting about 150-160km on out of city runs before my fuel light comes on. Seems a bit on the low side to me, does this sound right?

Cheers

I have a S2R 1000 and get about 160 to 170km before my fuel light comes on - I don't think it is anything out of the unusual.  Mattyvas will probably give a more concise answer. waytogo

That's not bad numbers.
I've just had a tune and am now back at 160k's City and closer to 180+ on a run.
You'll find you loose about 2 ltrs to the fuel pump, so bone dry you'll fill 11-ish ltrs.
Being that your pump won't get everything outta the tank.

My S2R800 gets 200km before the light on a regular basis and another 40km to empty.

Your figures sound about right for a fridge.  [moto]

My S2R1000 was getting 200kms no worries in stock trim before the light went on. Best effort was 238kms with light on. (didn't run out of fuel)
But with the open airbox and DP ECU and full system I average 180 ish or so before the light appears.

Can I just put in a quick plug for 695s?  I've done 250 without even seeing the light Smiley

City Ks or open road Suzy?
That's some pretty bloody good figures.

Definitely open road - in the city it's shocking - I'm lucky to get 180 before the light comes on.

I've never gotten that sort of K's from my S4RS. Matty is as light as a feather ........ especially compared to me  cheeky

The best I've gotten was the other weekend when we went up the Putty, the light came on at 149Km which means I had at most 15km left int eh tank before I've have had to push her to the bowser!

BTW obey the yellow light...... its not fun pushing you bike to the bowser!  bang head bang head

I average 180km on the S4RS the best I've done was 200km but was desperately looking for fuel! I have never had to push it (fingers crossed). The bike is stock except for cored pipes.
