Fuel Tank Capacity???

[mpgixxer]

a 1997 750... approx fuel capacity (in gallons)? approx total milage on a full tank... engine has no problems. does it have a reserve fuel switch/tank in an emergency?

4.8g capacity
No reserve switch, just a warning light.
light flashing: 1.1g left
light solid: 0.7g left

Farthest I've ever gone on a tank is 160 miles. (Didn't run out) I usually refuel at the first warning light, around 110-120 miles.

Does this info apply for the '97 600 as well?

98 750 FI is 4.8 gallons. I go about 150 miles with my 06 1k motor swapped in as long as Im going easy on it.

Wow, this is an old thread you found!

Yes, it applies to the 600 too.

sure its been asked a million times but what kind of milage can i expect from my 98 600? Say im taking it easy 50 miles one way all highway to work.

Depends on your gearing. If it's stock gearing you are looking at about 130-140 miles.

damn thats it, i was under the assumption that these bikes got 45 50 mpg.

[milhouse]

more like 35-40 mpg I think

More like this, even lower depending on riding "style."
