Django, that's a curious thing. The 2010 User Manual gives the CB1100 a fuel capacity of 14.6 litres. The specs in Ferret's history post give 3.9 US gallons. I suspect that's 3.85 US gallons rounded up. That's also 14.6 litres. The European CB1100 user manual [url=http://www.hme-tc.be/TRG_LIB/NM2013/CB1100/DOCS/CB1100A_OM_ENG.pdf]here also claims 14.6 litres fuel capacity for the European 2013 model.

I note you use the word 'nominal' in your post. Are you saying that the advertised 14.6 litre capacity is actually only 13.7 litres? Or are you saying the nominal capacity of 14.6 litres is really only 13.7 litres to the bottom of the filler neck?

All that said, 14.2 litres is cutting it fine. How many kilometers had you travelled before you filled up?
