bugie Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Fellow owners has your GT's Fuel consumption level gone above 99.9L as mine seems to be stuck there making my bike the most economical bike ever (on paper)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krucymucy Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I've also noticed that. Apparently it only has three digits so it stops at 99.9 Honda CB600F Hornet 2008; KTM LC4 640 SM Prestige 2007; Kawasaki Z1000 2007; Honda CB1000R 2010; BMW R1200GS 2010; Yamaha Tracer 900GT 2018; Yamaha TDM900 2002; Kawasaki KLX230 2020; KTM 690 Enduro R 2022: Bold = current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Cheers. Wasn't sure if it stopped at 99.9 or not which is why I asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gv550 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I've had my GT only 2 days so haven't burned that much fuel yet but I think that fuel consumed function is 'per tank'. You need to zero it along with the trip meter and you will know how much of your 18 liters you have burned and therefore how much remains. This is the first bike I've had with this function, a 'distance to empty' would be much more useful. 2019 Tracer GT, Ontario, Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first bike I've had with this function, a 'distance to empty' would be much more useful.It is "per tank" only if you reset it when you fill up. Otherwise, it just keeps counting. I found it to be about 10% low, if it displays 3.0 gal used, you can put 3.3 gal when you fill up. And this is consistent with the mpg displayed also being about 10% high, if it shows 55 mpg it really is about 50 mpg. This discrepancy doesn't really bother me because it is consistent, and 10% is easy to compensate in my head. But why do they set it up this way? 2019 Tracer 900 GT Niwot CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Would have been cool if you could have used it in conjunction with the service intervals to check average fuel consumption. I guess as a "per tank" calculator it is a way of double checking the kms per tank reading you get with the trip 1 reading. I would happily have traded that in for an additional notch on the fuel tank so it has a 75% reading too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnakay Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I just ignore the gauge never accurate anyway. each time I fill up I check the mileage against how many ltrs hat I've used. my last check I got 60 mpg(uk) 18 ltrs devided by 4.5 ltrs = 4 x 60mpg =240 miles to a tank full. I did a 174 miles and the gauge was on the digit and I used 13.08 ltrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DavidS Posted October 30, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted October 30, 2018 This has been the behavior of the gas gauge since the early models in 2015. Most of us, just reset the trip meter at fuel up, and go until you get close to 200 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnakay Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 never had a bike that had an accurate fuel gauge. only the ones that didn't have a gauge were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugie Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 My previous Suzuki GSR600 was fairly accurate in all fairness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
