Seriously though, what year? IIRC Yamaha have been making YBRs for a little while. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Does it even have a reserve? I dont remember mine having one. I would also usually get something like 10l in mine when I had it (with some fuel still in it), but I remember the fuel gauge wasn't super accurate. Next time it's low take a look inside the tank and see how much is really left.
Also when googling the size I found someone asking exactly the same thing.

Welcome, frappemocha. I ride a YBR125 ESD model in Morocco. It is a 2015 model and is carbureted, hence it has a fuel petcock with off - run- reserve positions. The petcock is located on the left side of the fuel tank. My understanding is that since 2008, the European YBR's were all fuel injected; bikes destined for Asia, Africa, and South America are likely to be carbureted. Depending on where you live, you could have a fuel injected or a carbureted engine. Fuel injected bikes do not have a petcock.
How do you know the tank is nearly empty? Is it from the fuel gauge indicator? Those gauges are notoriously inaccurate. When I fill my tank, the gauge stays at Full for 100km or more, then sweeps toward E over the next 200km. Then it hovers near Empty for another 200 km. My last tank took me 436 km before I hit reserve. If your bike has a petcock, I suggest setting it in the Run position (arrow down) and riding until you run it out of fuel. You can then turn the valve to Reserve (arrow up). You should be able to ride about 100 km with the petcock in the Reserve position. My bike routinely delivers 40 km per litre.
The tank does indeed hold 13 litres. I know that for a fact. The Bikez spec sheet for your 2012 YBR matches mine practically line for line. I suppose it is possible a previous owner crashed your bike and repaired a dent with bondo, resulting in decrease capacity. That would really be a corner case scenario. If your tank is original and undamaged, it holds 13 litres.
26 km/L is definitely abnormal. The worst I ever got was 34 km/L and that was just one tank.. 38 to 42 km/L is typical for my bike. Start by looking for signs of running rich. Check your spark plug to see if it's running clean and dry. Make sure air filter is clean and that the air induction has not been modified. If your bike is carbureted, make sure you are not riding with the choke partially closed. If your bike is fuel injected, try adding some throttle body cleaner to your fuel. Could be your fuel injector is not atomizing properly. Your idle adjustment is not causing the high fuel consumption. ____________________ History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men - BOC

Bro can i check with u what your idle speed u set to? According to manual is 1.3-1.5k rpm. Is it too high? Back then when i first bought it the idle rpm is set to 1k rpm but sometime it get very low to the point the bike will stall when i stop at the traffic light. That why i set it abit higher to 1.4k rpm. Mine dont have a fuel injector. That what the shop say. Right now my only option is to send the bike for carburetor cleaning and servicing first to see if it improved. Cause its already an 8 year old bike and the carburetor look quite dirty. I did send it for servicing recently changing the spark plug, air filter and engine oil. So i dont think the problem lies with the air filter. But i notice my spark plug get very black like carbon type of black. But is it because of me setting the idle rpm too high that causing this? |
