Guest billc700s Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The fuel tank breather is not far from the plate in the tank so if you overfill and corner all you will do is leave fuel all over the road and as motorboy say's you need space for expansion even in the UK. I made the mistake of overfilling when using a can to top up and it just came out of the breather tube under the engine/gearbox. Link to post
Guest russ27 Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hi Guys. I did 237 miles on 14 litre, That is with some mad times Link to post
Guest colinm Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 As a matter of interest, what sort of container do you use to carry spare fuel in the not the tank? I was going to buy an ally fuel container as sold in outdoors/backpacking/mountaineering shops. I'm not sure which types of plastic bottles are safest. Link to post
Guest Monkeyuk Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 you should get around 12 miles per litre when the blk and one red flash i get around 3 litres when the last red bar flashes on its own then iv got 2 litres i got about 180 miles on a 730 miles trip and had to put just over 12 litres in so how good is that the hole trip thats 730 miles it worked out i spent £65 on fuel 77mpg according to fuelly Link to post
ScaredyCat 1,655 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I generally fill up the bike as soon as the last bar starts flashing but it depends how close I am to a petrol station as to how much further I travel. I'm sure this affects the readings I get on fuelly. I wrote a little app for my phone to do the fuelly update at the petrol station, it uses their sms interface, primarily because I either forget and say I don't want the receipt or I accidentally throw it away.. Spend £74.72 for the last 800 miles, moving up to 9p a mile but my riding is a little more spirited than when I first got the bike. Link to post
Guest Seane Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I tend to refill when my last bar is reached. Glad to see the petrol prices are now dropping again, cheapest so far around here is £1.29.9 hope it carries on dropping. Link to post

WTF it's 1.39 here and not dropping at all Supermarket price wars - Check out Sainsbury's (6p a mile less) Asda, Tesco and Morrisons. Link to post
Guest Seane Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I know we begrudge some of these supermarkets sometimes but can you imagine what the price of fuel would be if they never had these price wars. Link to post
roddy 845 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 £1.29 per litre at our local tesco, When the red light starts flashing I will go no further than 20 miles to the next fill up. Link to post
roddy 845 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Bit expensive up there in Norfolk? Link to post
Guest Wheresmeparrot Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 £1.29.9 at the local Esso here in Sunny Reading. Easily getting 40 miles on flashing red bar, as long as I am not ragging it - which of course I am not, because if I wanted to rag it, I wouldn't have bought an NC.. Link to post
Guest Scubalol Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yesterday I filled up, I reset my trip and went for a ride, filled back up toay and put in 9.13lt, which is .5 ltr over 2 gallons, the trip said i had done 170 miles. 85 miles per gallon, I am very impressed. Last week coming back from Leicester I did run out of fuel, got about 30 miles from flashing red, but that was on 70mph duel track Loz Link to post
Guest EasyTiger Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I check out Petrol Prices at http://www.petrolprices.com/ or on their app. I don't know if it covers remote archipelagos etc., such as Norfolk... Link to post
