Honda cbr250r fuel tank capacity - Page 2 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Maybe that was not a very bright idea

however I know that people do this on royal enfield bikes so this is not something unheard of. Frankly I admit that I am probably a bit too concerned about where to fill up petrol from and having more capacity gives you more options. But now I think I am going to stick with Jerry cans.

Btw I would certainly replace the fuel tank with vfr's if it fits without any issues and costs upto 10 - 15 K max. It would give a range of 450 kms on plains if we keep min 3 Liters and about 385 km on hills assuming 30kmpl and 25 kmpl approximately.

VFR's fuel tank? Nice idea.
Note - Price of VFR in India is 18.5 Lakhs ex showroom

. I leave the cost of the tank to your imagination.

) I already said that I was apprehensive that the Vfr fuel tank
Might cost more than the Cbr itself. Although I did see a few adverts on eBay for old Vfr fuel tanks in good condition selling for about $125 in US. Anyhow thinking about it again I think replacing the tank of Cbr is not going to be as easy or or practical as is the case with royal enfield bikes so dumping the idea as of now.

There's nothing such as keeping 3-5 liters of fuel in the tank. It is recommended to get the bike re-fueled when the bar blinks. The main concept is that the fuel pump inlet should be submerged in fuel (which is a best practice) and it does so in 1-1.5L of fuel.

Mileage of 25 kmpl? You must be flying. During running in between 3-5k i.e. 48-80 km/hr I am getting 32-35 kmpl.

@Kurt : I meant on the hills when you are constantly on 2nd 3rd gear. Btw the mileage you seem to be getting is good and presumably it will go up slightly when the bike opens up completely.

PGM-FI does increase the mileage significantly as even ZMR is delivering in range of 40-45kmph depending on riding pattern..

as per topic, you don't require 4-5L minimum in your bike its just advisable to keep it above that level..
