Range calculator

Tank capacity ÷ consumption × 100. A typical 14-litre tank at 4 L/100km gives about 350 km; small scooters manage 250-300 km on tiny tanks thanks to very low consumption, while big adventure bikes with 20+ litre tanks exceed 400 km. Pick your model above for its own figure.

The reserve is the last part of the tank — typically 15-20% or 2-4 litres on modern bikes. The low-fuel light usually comes on when only the reserve is left, which means roughly 40-70 km remain. Our safe-range figure is calculated to the light, not to a dry tank.

Usually yes, by up to ±20%. Catalogue figures come from standardised tests; sustained highway speeds above 110 km/h, stop-and-go traffic, a passenger, luggage and wind all increase consumption. Track a few of your own fill-ups and enter your real figure for an accurate range.

Smooth throttle, keeping cruising speed around 90-100 km/h, correct tire pressures, a clean air filter and a well-lubricated chain make the biggest difference. Aerodynamic extras help on naked bikes; aggressive luggage and a passenger work against you.

Plan fuel stops at your safe range, but most riders need a break every 200-250 km anyway — fatigue arrives before the reserve does. In remote regions, top up at every opportunity rather than stretching to the calculated maximum.

For range calculations, yes — fill to the same point every time so your consumption math stays consistent. Leave a little air space in hot weather for expansion, and avoid running the tank bone-dry: on injected bikes the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel around it.
