Safari Tank 30ltr

[ChrisMember]

Well bugger me you have to love the distance you can get from these tanks right

Only had mine on for a few weeks and did my second ride with in on yesterday.

Total 9hrs 32mins riding time and 587kms and have still not gone to reserve….I was riding home thinking I hope I have enough fuel and bugger me not into res let lol

Now I know things are different between bikes, like carbs riding type and size of rider.

Well I have a different needle done by a guy lol and shorter spring…..I ride hard where and when I can…and im lets say on the larger size for a rider :rolleyes:

My bloody diesel Astra doesn’t even get close to this sort of kms lol

Not sure how much fuel is left in reserve…..if someone can let me know roughly that would be great 🙂

so 19.5lt per km if you had used a full 30lt. The best I’ve got is about 18.5lt per km. But usually 15lt/km. Needle and short spring guy sounds like the go. They expand out to 31.5lt after a while but yours is new. I haven’t bothered with reserve because I can’t usually just pop into servo if I hit reserve anyway.

Funny thing is when I put mine on…I poured the fuel from the old tank into it and it filled it up roughly above the res on both sides…..then I went and filled it up and it took 30 odd ltrs then, so im not sure how much it would take from empty :ohmy:

Same thing with the Safari that was put on my KLR.. Its meant to be a 32 litre tank, but I put 33 litres in it yesterday and im sure it had about 4-5 litres in it already.. Maybe the servo is ripping me?
