    Think you may have a problem there rocket pants! On the road mine regularly does about 250 miles before it hits reserve (and I don't really tootle along). Acerbis used to make a larger tank, but you will probably have to source a used one now, don't think they make them anymore.

    Meant 250Km (about 150 miles). Might be reasonable if you off road a lot!

    H reg, that's 1990 isn't it?

    Means you've got the small 13l tank, not the bigger 16l. 100 miles until you hit reserve is reasonable, if it's 100 miles including reserve then it's running a bit rich.

    Acerbis used to make a 21l tank for the 1990 model indeed, but they don't anymore. That should give you a range of about 200 miles to reserve. I think I remember seeing a guy on advrider who had a few of them left some time ago, might want to look into that.

    IIRC, two months ago he still had more than 10 available for that particular year.

    I'll dig up my archive. Search the ADVRider forums for info on these tanks - the guy can be found there.
