probably about typical mate.

i tend to fill up between 100 and 110 miles personally, but only cos I can't work my fuel tap without stopping and taking my gloves off :smt012 so I try and avoid running to reserve!

zxr400s are good for about 110 miles on a full tank.obviously depends how its ridden and how the bike is setup.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

My ZXR got around 80 miles until it was on reserve - funnily enough this didn't seem to change even after the rebore! :smt017

My VFR750 gets the same milage. Maybe it's how I ride them? :smt003

That sounds about right to me! :smt003

Everyone else seemed to be getting far better mileage than me though...

I should also say that as far as I'm aware that was with standard jets on a '94 L3, and I rode it HARD. :smt003
