GZ 250 Forums - View Single Post - 236 mile range, plus 17 on reserve for my GZ250

I hit reserve at about 180 miles and the bike takes 2.5 gallons to fill for 72 mpg fairly consistantly. That leaves me (theoretically) with a 1.2 gallon reserve. Must be a variation in the length of the plastic pickup tube on the petcock from spec.

I'm 6'-1" and about 280 lbs (quit laughing, :fu: I'm down 25 lbs.) and most of my driving is less than 55 mph, and most of my trips are less than 50 miles.

I also fill the tank while aboard and the bike upright.
