199.5 miles and the pump said that I had filled up with 17.4 litres - so 2.6 litres to go, which is over half a gallon.

It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

I find if you want to stand long enough you can squeeze in more than a litre more after you think its full

How big is the tank? I think I've got 20l in, though with three bikes and no memory, I may have confused myself about that.
I never understand how people can say they regularly get 200 from a tank, but then my 300m+ Pan has never got beyond 265.
Someone must be tampering with my bikes that they are all so uneconomical...

2 bikes = twice as happy
My worst ever was in morocco on a red hot day (40+). Left Marrakech on the motorway and decided to stay on it. As it was so much cooler at 90mph that's what I did. About 120 miles later the needle was in the red and it took about 16 litres to fill. It was about 30 mpg. I blamed the heat.
2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

If you can smell petrol then it is evaporating and not being put to use by the bike.
