Does not seem to matter how I ride, like a girl or full on.
I seem to get about 105 miles until the light comes on.
Today fuel light at 106 miles then took it to 121 miles and filled up.
Could only get 15L in the tack, so I must have had 1L left.
So I make it that I could have got another 8 miles if I had had the 'Balls'
My storm is a 2000 model 16L tank with a set of ART cans standard jets.
Low fuel... Again!
The ART of riding
Must be those ART cans mate, cos I'm the same without cans (on order) and I get nowhere near that MPG.Fireman on a Storm wrote: My storm is a 2000 model 16L tank with a set of ART cans standard jets.

Well i wouldn`t say brave more like had no choise.
Got of the ferry at dover and saw sign "petrol 65 miles",yer yer yer i throught, it was right..
Got about 45 miles out of calais when the RLO, slowed down to 70mph.
Carried on for about another 10 miles, pulled off motorway to find garage(in towns), no luck in towns. Got to road junction then said to two friends you go that way & you go that, for five miles.
First one back says theres a garage 150 yards at the T junction 1/2 mile up the road. Got to t junction pulled on to road gunned it, overtaking lorry @ approx 90 & started to sturter,garage approx 70 yards ahead, coasted into garage where it finally coughed to a stop..
CLOSE CALL OR WHAT. Filled with 15.32 liters.
Filled for the rest of trip so soon as RLO...
