Crazy high fuel consumption
Hi all!
I've been "monitoring" my fuel consumption and I can't believe the numbers I'm getting - 35mpg or 8.5L/100km!
I've seen people on other forums as well as this one posting numbers closer to 45-50mpg and I never expected a bike to be as thirsty as a car, if not more, but that's what I'm getting.
Is it normal for a bike like this?
Unfortunately 100% of my riding is currently limited to daily London traffic, however I'm riding quite peacefully and not doing anything crazy.
Here's a sample of my boring everyday ride if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry9eg2dsqkQ.
I'd be interested to know what seasoned riders like you have to say but for now I'm a bit disappointed that only doing around 10 miles per day I have to fill up every week...
Today, ironically, I ran out of fuel literally 30 metres before the petrol pump F-TRIP was showing 16 miles after I pushed the bike to the pump, which is not really much if I understand correctly.
P.S.
Here's my Fuelly profile which is pretty close to truth: Yamaha MT-09 (Yamaha MT-09) | Fuelly
P.P.S.
Another thing - I totally ran out of fuel and filled the tank up to the very brim. I managed to squeeze in 13.08 litres. Where is the missing litre? I thought the fuel tank was supposed to be 14 litres :?
