Yet the bars represent the fuel consumed rather than the mileage. There is no "mile counter" in the tank, there is only a volume measurement. You can tell because as soon as you fill her up the bars are all back there, no matter if you zero the mile counter or not.
In theory the factors like atmospheric pressure or temperature do influence the bars. In real life you will only notice the effect when you fill her up to the brim with cold fuel then park her in the sun. Fuel volume grows when warming up, fuel spills from the overflow tube underneath the bike.
Ingo if you drive real fast (I mean the fast fast
) it will be less miles before each bar disappears. If you always drive Grandma style you see the 50km = one bar ratio.
