Since this is the only "ST range" thread on the go I hope you don't mind me jumping in.
After following this thread for a little bit I decided to see what the range was on the ST1100.
I thought I was just testing the range
...little did I realise I was actually testing my stress levels!
The bowser light flicked on around 380km into my test, 31km short of work...
Some sweaty palms and increased pulse as I contemplated what might be.
At one point I reached over to lock the throttle and I accidentally hit the kill switch
A quick glance at everything and I soon realised my mistake
Haven't done that before...did you know that if you hit the kill switch while riding simply placing the kill switch into the run position gets the engine running again...Hmm I never thought of push starting an ST before, now I know it's doable.
I filled her up after work to find I still had plenty of juice in the tank 5.5L left in the tank.
This gives me the following results:
Range Range
Actual Litres Litres Litres Economy Theoretical
km Capacity Used Left L/100km km
ST1100 411.3 28 22.5 5.5 5.5 512
I was previously filling up as soon as the bowser light came on and depending the quality of the fuel this could be as low as 330km! >:(
I think I'll be filling up at 400km from now on, stress free...I hope.
