hi all. just wondering what range in miles my t100 might get. i have a daily commute of 110 miles. i was wondering how long i will be able to go between fillups. still learning yet, so i am not ready for the commute on the interstate just yet, but looking forward to it. thanks, keith

Hey Keith,

You should make around 100 miles on the main tank and still be good for 30 miles or so on reserve....atleast thats my experience on what was previously my stock T100....110mile commute no worries

happy travellin

I ususually get to 120-130 before I hit reserve.

hi there- I too have a 110 miles commute daily with my t-100
I experimented and I get 131 miles before I totally run out and need reserve- so now Ill go and fill up at 110 miles to be ready for the next day- I can usually fill up at 2.2 miles so I am getting about 50mpg it seems!

If you're avoiding freeway-range speeds (read: over 65 mph), you should be fine on a single stock tank.

I get ~ 110miles before reserve. Most of my commuting is city riding. And I like to gun it. Not the best for fuel efficiency. I get about 36mpg.

Fuel mileage varies a lot from bike to bike...has a lot to do with the rider's size (and weight), IMHO.

Fill up your tank (reset the trip odometer) and ride on the highway until you start running out of fuel, then switch to reserve and note the miles on your trip odometer. This will give you a real good idea on your commute mileage fuel useage. Stop at the next gas station and fill up--never push the distance on reserve unless you are carrying fuel with you or have 4-wheel support following with fuel.

With a 110 commute, it sounds like you'll be filling up every day.

I can go 110-115 before reserve. Then another another 30, 35...... (oops, just ran out of gas).
