Hi

I just wanted to know how much your RS125 to 1 tank.

Since ive had mine i've filled the tank twice and th first time the bike went 200km and the second time it went 160km.

Is this normal or should i be expecting to get more? I know that it could just be my driving style and am trying something different for this tank to see if it makes any difference.

Thanks

Dan

Mine's always been quite thirsty on fuel, although I've never checked the mileage.

There's a lot of difference in consumption if I cane it, compaired to if I'm riding normally!

Hi

On average I get 55mpg from the RS125, which is not bad. Most I have ever got from a tank was 287km (running in some new rings), and the best ever fuel consumption was 74.5mpg (riding very sedately during the picketing of the fuel depots a few years back). Tank range does vary quite a lot depending on how you ride it, and also how close to empty you are prepared to risk going.

All the best

Keith
