Hamlesh Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Anyone know if theres such a thing as a larger / higher capacity fuel tank for the XVS 650 Dragstar? A mate of mind has a Bullet, and hes recently fitted a higher capacity tank to his bike. One irritation on my road trip around Italy last year was having to stop for fuel every 120 or so miles!

Ttaskmaster Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Properly tuned and sensibly ridden by a factory person on flat, level roads etc etc, the XVS650 Custom is rated at 178 miles on one single tank. That probably includes reserve too, mind. I'm sure you could make a bigger one fit, but that's pretty average for a 650 Draggie. I usually manage around 122 before I hit reserve, 119 when riding around town. You could get one of those 2L camping fuel bottles and use that as a second reserve... I do that on some long trips.

Hamlesh Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Aye - I had a 5l metal jerry can strapped to the back of the sissy bar for that trip - had to make use of it only once though I get about 120 before I hit reserve too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
