Hey up Steve, not bad MPG you got out of the husky, should now give you a piece of mind, thanks for sharing, ride safe, Simon B 😎

Great video Steve. You mention coming down to Cornwall, if you want some 701 company, or a local guide to show you around let me know. I’m down near Falmouth and know the byways and TÊT well from here down west around Lands End, and back towards Perranporth. I bought my 701 as a result of your videos, so I probably owe you a brew!

Good post. I'm old enough; or just my bikes were older to run fuel by mileage, top up around 100 mls. I have the SM Husky I tend to get less mileage per tank, I think it's the nut attached to the throttle!

8:31 steve could always purchase the rade garage fuel tank kit .

Brilliant all them miles and you run out of fuel right next to a petrol station😂😂 you couldn't make it up,great vid..

29:29 already said 1.2 liters of fuel left on mine dont no about yours steve ,it says in the manual .

I worked it out to 21.83 km to the litre. 13 litres = 283.79 km range at your consumption rate.

This is a very useful video not least because you and I have a similar riding style. My 890 gets around 250 to reserve and an other (safe) 20 miles. My 701 is doing c. 70 mpg so a theoretical 200 miles. I have a 690 in the US which got a genuine 75 mpg of mixed riding ie on and off-road plus has a 14 tooth front sprocket, Arrow end can and Rade garage sourced air filter. There are some getting over 80 mpg on gentle trails and one closer to 90 mpg. Pretty staggering.

I’ve never run mine to empty, but seeing the reserve process is very handy, so thank you for that. I mostly ride twisty mountain tarmac on mine, so I’m guessing at best I should expect about 140, or the km equivalent as I’m in France. I have the FE350 as well, and I’ve never seen a fuel light on that, but of course the tank is transparent, but what a wonderful pair of bikes…..have never regretted either of them. In spite of how tall they are, my wife has been learning on them…..the controls are so good for learners…..as long as no “whisky throttle” 😃 I can’t see me ever selling them, except maybe to update, but I don’t like the ‘24 paint schemes.

I got 165 miles I think similar mixed riding, I didn’t run it dry but pretty close.

Hi Steve. New subscriber here and I've spent ages watching a lot of your videos this weekend! Which have been really enjoyable, so thanks for the effort that you clearly put into your channel. Are you a member of the TRF (trail riders federation)? I'm very new to off-road riding and I'm trying to find some useful resources of where to go green laning in my area (Surrey) Look forward to following your new ventures! Best wishes, Paul

From memory, from last year. Mostly off road use usual link up tarmac bits. Typical TET stuff. I usually get 180-210 km before reserve light. (112-130 miles) Generally then refill takes about 10 litres ish. Leaving 3 ish in reserve. I’ve done 40 km (25 miles) with reserve on but never run out. Typical that was end of afternoon in the middle of nowhere with no spare fuel. If there’s 60 km (40 miles) in reserve that would give me close, bit less than you got. I suppose due to more off road miles. Maybe. That’s with the same screen and 40lts backs ( it more weight) instead of 80. And Michelin tracker tires not the tkc80. Different subject. Is that a Bell adventure mx9 helmet? I’m thinking about getting one for longer road runs. To get to and from further afield TET section. I use a cheap ish mx helmet and goggles at mo. Like the cooler air flow when it’s hot off road. But the wind noise is hard going on road. Especially if I have to do a motorway section. 70-80 mph feels like a near death experience 😂 Is the bell good, cool quiet. For the relatively low cost? Thanks

45:28 😂😂😂😂😂

Ye Steve just had a look ,your rear tank is same as mine 1.2.liters reserve. 43:14 ,i think you got 12.8 liters of fuel in rear tank so 11.6 before reserve ,check anyway .👋🤠👍 44:49

34:17 have now ,,bettys tea rooms .😊

Greay vid, and like the idea of canisters, back in the day it was empty coke bottles lol. thats good miles, my 890 adventure r does 250 ish to a tank, so not much of a difference.

2:30 you not got a fuel low warning light Steve,,,I got two warning lights on the LR front tank gives me 1.8 liters reserve and rear tank 1.2 liters .thought yours was the same but with one light .maybe check steve ye .

Hello Steve Seems like ages since I’ve sat and had my relaxing lunch while enjoying one of your vids. So thanks for that. Funnily enough I was eating a veggie "chicken" burger myself. I’m only half way through vid but it’ll be interesting to see distance to dry. I’m hoping to do a Spain/Portugal TET tour this spring and that’ll start and finish with 4-6 hours on road. (I’ll probably split that into 3x1.5 hrs cos any more and I can’t sit still on 701 seat) that also kind of lines up with going onto reserve. But might be able to split it into two if I know what’s after the reserve light comes on. I too assume the F and starts counting is how far after reserve light etc.

Fancy running out next to a filling station...you couldn't plan it Steve...interesting test

I've ran out of gas many times on other bikes in the past expecting the fuel light to come on that it had but didn't work obviously. I'm still waiting to see my 701's low fuel light but not expecting to see it with my luck

more importantly, how far can you push your bike when it runs out of fuel.

50:53 right near fuel station look behind you

Front camera is bouncing too much

I see you issue, you seem to be riding a motorcycle.. assume you were incapable of passing a real vehicle test
