Some Useful Info For DR650 With Safari 30L Tanks
Afternoon all
Ok, we did a milage check the other day (when my bike was going).
We decided we wanted know how far the bike would go till reserve, I do not know what the reserve capacity of the Safari tank is so if someone does know please let me know.
So ..... riding the bike the speedo reads 60 mph, Mrs.Garmin shows 56/57 mph corrected.
That gives a correction value of approx 5%.
I travelled 441 miles so 709.7 km (approximately ) when is spluttered and I changed over to reserve.
Correction of 5% on Speedo would be around 419 miles or 675 km till reserve which is not too shabby.
We have yet to bend our fuel lines horizontal on the carb to get the last of the fuel out which I will do when we do the main valve service.
Anyway, hope this info is useful for someone ponding the merits of a larger tank for your DR 650.
