    1) How many gallons does my 2009 fireblade hold?
    2) How far can one travel on a full tank, keeping to the speed limits?
    Thanks

    Per manual, 3.89 gallons (17.7ltr).

    I usually get 120 miles before fuel light comes on. That's town and country.

    Errrrm...hate to bring up your average 50mpg on the SP....(which makes about 190 miles) :rolleyes:

    Maybe you need to plaster a few more HRC stickers on it :D

    Could be a fair point if I were using the SP for the information.

    However, as @Great Guy posed the question of a 2009, I cited the figures of my 2011, knowing they have the same tank size of 17.7L.

    About 140-150 miles on my 08 before fuel light comes on. No idea of tank size although I’d imagine same as Nige above.

    Ah, so THAT'S how I should be riding! :cool:

    I'll change my style and then Lozzy can re-calculate my tank miles.;)

    Correct. I rarely stick to the 30 limit, mostly about 34/35mph, then you really feel it. o_O
