I'm going on a six day outback ride with no panniers and a tent etc to carry, so I can't carry extra fuel bar 1100 cc in a fuel bottle.
With the 14l tank and this I will have a total of 15.1l ( 3.988 US gallons or 3.32 imperial gallons)
I'm facing 338kms (210 miles) between fuel at one place and 377 kms (234 mls) another time.
I've not had the opportunity (all riding up till now being city stuff) to get a handle on open road consumption, so I need an accurate guide as to
what the bike will use. Sitting on the side of the road on Queensland outback roads is not very enjoyable.
I'll ride at 100 kph (62 mph) if necessary (prefer 68 mph) to just get to the next roadhouse.
So can I make it and what are the speed guides?
Finally what are the best tyre pressures to run. (the guy I bought it from didn't get a handbook from the dealer)
thanks
