I'm really used to having a longer range on my bikes and the result is that I've ran out of petrol twice on my HUSKY without the fuel light coming on. Both times I was saved by opening the taps on both bottom sides of the tank. I'm not even sure exactly what they're for, but I just assume they're a sort of "reserve" like I had on my dirt bikes. Then I had to stand a while (assuming the fuel needs to run through the pipes?) before she would fire up again...

So a few questions, as this is all new to me:
1. I'm assuming that there's some sort of plug/wire/sensor that's not working or plugged out. I haven't lifted the tank to have a look, but will do do so when I get a gap.

2. Can anybody tell me if and how those taps are related?

3.  Both times I was on around 150 - 160 km and the bike took around 11 litres of fuel. Can that be right? Am I only getting 14km/litre? It seems very low for a 600 cc EFI single. Is it the "Power Up" mod that screws up the consumption this badly?

4. I've made an inquiry about the Safari tanks...

Hi Gabriel,

I do not have stock of this tank so delivery will take 3 - 4 weeks. The tanks are available in Red, Black, White and Clear.  The price for the 25 Litre front tank is R11244,00 excluding VAT and ex Durban

Thank you & regards

R 12 800 extends my fuel range from 160 km to 350 km, which is a decent (and almost required) distance for an adventure bike on trips

The tanks look good and I'm sure they're worth it, but the price is a bit steep.  :-\
