I recently bought a CB1100 2010 year model (known as 2013 in America) with 7,000km on the clock. I’ve gone through 4 tanks and noticed my fuel consumption is nowhere as good what owners have been getting on this forum.
I average about 140km and the bar starts to flash. Tyres are right pressure and I ride quite conservatively around city traffic. Filled up with 98 octane also. I’m not sure what could be wrong? Surely it cannot be this bad. Any suggestions?
Hi Lemontree, for me the bar tends to start flashing between 180 and 190Km, but can be earlier depending on the type of riding. I'm not a hard rider by any means and tend to fill up around 230Km with 12 - 12.5L of fuel. The max distance obtained before almost running out of fuel 275Km. I allow a max distance of 50Km after the bar starts flashing to fill up so I don't run out. Average fuel consumption since I got the bike is about 5.5 L/100Km or 50 -51 MPG.
