Just cause i’m bored really but someone may find it useful, just drained and flushed my tank and rebuilt the fuel cock, filling it back up with a 5 litre fuel can which I fill when I pass a petrol station, first off my 5 litre can holds 6(ish) litres of fuel coming in at £7.90 (ouch), the first 6 litres took the fuel gauge to just above the red mark and the bike would run with the tap in the on position so the reserve is around 5 litres or as near as dam it ¼ off a tank, the next 6 litres took the gauge up to ½ full, so theres another 10ish litres till full by my reckoning (22 litre tank as I recall). So that explains why the gauge drops like a stone after ½ a tank is reached. Another 6 litres took the gauge up to just under full and my guess would be another 4/5 litres to full.
