Yeah my ER6 goes till 100km then stop displaying range. haven't tested it yet to seen how much of that 100km i can get.
My amazon mirrors arrived today, took them 7 days from order to Door. different to oem mirrors but it'll do.

Wait what? It goes to 100km and then does nothing?

It drops down and when it reaches 100km left it stops showing how many km and flashes the fuel gauge to show its on reserve.

That's swak. I have a Ninja 400 and it tells me fuel level down to double digits (well I've only tested it until +-25km and then filled up) so I would have assumed all other Kawasaki models can do the same.

That's stupid, may as well just have been a reserve light then and left you to guess.

At least flip to a trip computer counting up then or something.

When i hit reserve on my gay honda nc750dct it starts flashing 0.0l and slowly increases the numbers showing you how many litres you have used.
Most I have done is 1.9l before filling up. I believe one can go to 2.9l in reserve but I am not willing to try it out.

2018.

Yeah it's dumb, I usually test reserve on any vehicles I get but driving normally on reserve until I run out to reasonably see what can be achieved. Haven't gotten round to it though.

That's pretty cool actually.

That's probably why, they've updated. My ER6 is 2013.

I just realised that my tank is 15.7l and reserve is supposed to be only 1.7l of that ... but even if I go up to 1.7l , the refill is only 14.2l. So I could go more than my max of 402km.

Yeah I've filled up more than my supposed tank volume on more than one occassion.

Have still never hit rock bottom.

 

[Bundu]

my fuel consumption on the computer is quite accurate, so I have a little table stuck to my GPS mount that shows me the total km I can travel on my 30ltr tank, depending on the l/100km consumption - works very well and I've filled up a couple of times with less than 1ltr left in the tank

Hey guys, my YZF600r ('99 Model) clutch cable feels like it's slipping, every time I tighten it after a few days it's loose again (but not by the handle) I even replaced the cable, no change in the behavior, is my clutch about to bomb out soon?

 

[Merlin]

If the cable and housing are new and in good condition, it's likely that the clutch plates are on their way.

Roll along at low speed (say 40-60 km/h), put the bike into a high gear and open the throttle wide. If you hear the motor rev up but the bike does not pull accordingly, your clutch is slipping. If you pass that test, my next guess would be that the clutch springs are going.

Ready for 2019 with my new suit

Anyone in JHB have any thoughts on who has the best pricing on gloves and the like? The piece of **** spirit gear that bought when I started are falling apart. Holes in both gloves, and the jacket is tearing on the pockets.
Ridiculously bad quality. And one very sad biker.
