starshine_tara Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Hello all....thinking about getting one of these but not sure about the tiny 15L tank and lack of fuel gauge...what sort of tank range/mpg are you getting ...cheers Hi Andy! I just got one and they are great!! Regarding tank range, I had my fuel warning light come on at 84 miles the other day. The good news is that this happens with about a third of the tank left. Once your fuel light goes on, you then get a 'fuel trip' display telling you how far you have travelled since the fuel warning light came on - rather than 'trip 1', 'trip 2', or the Odo. I suspect that my 84 miles was the result of me hooning away from the lights all the time...I can't help it! Anyway, the MT03 is not the bike to buy as a practical tourer. It is however a very capable and fun streetbike that does not put your license at too much risk by exposing you to high BHP figures (my reason for getting one - I currently have 8 points). Low and mid-range torque is the way-of-the-walk here! Regards Tara

Guest Tantalus Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 You might get a bit more information in the following topic which is all about MT03 fuel lights etc: MT Owners Club Forum. We would be happy to see you there. The site is dedicated to the MT series of motorcycle. KODO !!
7point62fmj Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Yep! A ton twenty is about all you're gonna get from the beast. I'm filling up every other day as a result of my 35 mile commute into the big city. Great bike...Get one! KODO!
CurlyGirl Posted June 9, 2007 Posted June 9, 2007 Hi. I get an easy 120miles to a tank but that's after a daily 6 miles each way commute to work with a short time warming the bike up. On longer journeys I have got in a good few more miles. I'd say an easy 150 miles including reserve. Also depends on how much stick you give it tho!
