Loving the look of the new R12 9T, especially in the green/stainless colour scheme.
Was surprised (especially with the introduction of the optional tft instrument panel) that a constant read out fuel gauge or range display haven’t been implemented.
I understand a count up (or is it down?) Figure is displayed once reserve is reached.
Are any of you 9T owners using a Sat nav as your fuel gauge display?
My BMW Nav 5 has the functionality of displaying tank contents & range & think the new Connected ride navigator does too.
Never had a bike without a gauge & would definitely suffer range anxiety not knowing.
 
I've never had a fuel gauge and never had fuel anxiety (until I bought an Xcountry with a 9.5 litre tank :rolleyes:- sorted with a rotopax)
If your sat-nag has a trip odometer option, use that. You do need to know how many miles/km per Ltr/gallon your moto does.
I find that for the easiest mental calculations, I use metric.
 
I just used trip reading, was never a problem
