GSA Tank range

[Pilot_GSA]

How many miles can I expect to get out of a tank before refuleing my 1200 GSA ?

Yesterday I did 375 miles with 34 miles left in the tank and the fuel light started flashing at 51 miles.
The first 100 I was mostly riding at 70mph but the rest I rode at 60mph.
When I got down to 97 miles left in the tank the computer had a hicup and jumped back up to 104 miles left then after another 10 mins it dropped back to 88.
I was not sure just how far the bike would go before it ran out so stopped a fuelled up.
When I filled up it cost me a staggering £40 with 97 ron at a main service area.
But the range went to 506 miles predicted.

A subject covered many times before

PS I regularly get to 400 miles before filling up

You would'nt happen to know of a link ?
I think I could of done 400 if I had not been doing 70mph for the first 100 miles.

Just cut & paste GSA Tank range in to the advanced search box on the top right hand side of the page then trawl through the 20 plus pages of threads until you find one that fits your criteria

It's all subjective and depends on your riding style. I've had over 500 out of a tank and also had just over 200

Your trip computer works out an estimated range based on how you are riding at the time. The hiccup may have been caused by you slowing down and using less fuel so your range increased slightly. They can tell you everything is fine and then suddenly drop like a stone as you get almost empty

They are all different with some being more accurate than others. Best thing you can do to check how accurate your range is, is to strap a gallon can on the bike and ride until it runs out and then you will know for sure. Mine is deadly accurate and when it says 1 mile to go.....it means it!

Utilise the trip computer with your odometer and you won't go far wrong.

I've run mine to 20 miles after the --- has appeared on the range and still not run out

I've been up to 360 and then put 35.4 litres in it.

The throttle is the twisty thing on the right handlebar. HTH.

 

[X21ekx]

I get about 320 IF Im lucky!!!

 

[TLSgazza]

Somewhere between 280 and 420 miles, depending upon what type of riding.

When you did fill up noting how many litres it took and therefore what was left in it will give you a guide

Well if it cost him 40 quid to fill up and his fuel was £1.20 per litre, he put in 33ish litres so I would guess he was nearly empty.

BMW say the GSA holds 32 litres but I believe it holds closer to 34 litres.
I don't hang about so on a run get about 45+ mpg but under 40 on short runs. So I reckon on 250 to 300 miles per tank depending on usage.
My last fill was 33.5 litres at 260 miles. Too close for comfort but it was almost entirely short runs. So I should have expected it to run out any timel.

I've brimmed mine a few times with range saying 10-15 miles left and put in 35.5 or slightly more litres, if you wiggle it about and fill right to the top it will take 36 litres.

two up full luggage , autobahn speeds ie 85 ish plus some higher speed blasts then it averages 47mpg so approx. 320 miles before the light comes on , get it into the alps with the luggage off and sticking to the speed limits watching the scenery then it will do 59 mpg and 420 miles before the light comes on

I've averaged 47mpg over 20K miles. The power Commander 5 has dropped a couple of mpg but the bike is sooo much better to use I can live with that.
Recently a lot of short runs have hammered the mpg. I could do with switching the PC out for slow pootling about.

I've never run it dry but a couple of times it's had a few fuelling stutters shortly before I put in the best part of 34 litres. So I'm guessing it was close to running dry.

And the endless assumptive debate continues due to the lack of the 'accurate facts' being made avalible

Actual mileage/actual litres put in to brim the tank X 33 will answer the OP question

 

[Pilot_GSA]

Excusing the first 100 miles after that I rode mostly between 58mph and 65 mph and riding along I checked every now and again I saw I was getting about 48.5 on average.
As I put the more expensive Ron in the tank It's no wonder it cost so much
I am hoping soon to do a run to Norfolk and back so I will a proper check.
I will only do this the once as I like to hustle along and riding at 65mph max will kill me.

You will get more per £ on posh petrol than plain 95 RON

I feel a challenge has been set!
