    • New Query on Fuel tank Size

      Guys need help

      what's the size of our fuel tanks -the manual says 12Litres which includes 2 L reserve,

      but if i fill the tank right from drought for 300rs speed that's close to 6 litres so i can fill another 6 litres, but my indicator shows close to band 5 sometimes 6, later it self adjust to 5,

      earlier i thought it was the digital sensor some error, but when i open up the lid, the petrol is right up, hardly any room max i think 2 more litres can go anything more than that and it will spill out.

      so is our tank size 10L or 9 coz i definately feel it's not 12L


      has anyone faced such issue...

      • Nope, I regularly fill for more around 600 bucks.

          Same stuff shadowboy.for Rs.400 the entire tank gets filled up...i.e. approx 8 ltrs.

          i guess I keep mucg=h in reserve but i tried it even when the low fuel indicator was on..still nothing above 8 litres gets filled

          • ^^ fuel tank is 12lt only as I have filled 10lt fuel many times when the speedo showed F trip.

            • It is 12 L (& might be a tad bit more if you are filling it up to brim).

                Thats true.

                but if i fill the tank right from drought for 300rs speed that's close to 6 litres so i can fill another 6 litres, but my indicator shows close to band 5 sometimes 6, later it self adjust to 5,
                The indicator is not 100% accurate. For me 'sometimes' the reserve sign (-F)comes up with 3 fuel bars up.

                earlier i thought it was the digital sensor some error, but when i open up the lid, the petrol is right up, hardly any room max i think 2 more litres can go anything more than that and it will spill out.
                Take a look at the tank shape, its broad on top, so if you think 2 lts can be adjusted then its actually 4 lts that can be adjusted.

                so is our tank size 10L or 9 coz i definately feel it's not 12L
                It is 12 lts. Dont argue for 11.9 hope it helps.

                  btw.... is it 12lts + 2lts reserve or 10 + 2......

                  reason for my question is when my bike had travelled 25kms in reserve.....i topped up my tank full and that came upto 10.48 lts....

                  so i guess its 10lts + 2lts reserve

                    • Help needed

                      Gave my bike for 2nd service today at Pacer,

                      Just now the person in-charge called me up and told that there is swing-arm bend and CHASSIS-bend.. overall estimated cost is Rs 7000

                      In the past, I had a crash at Chennai Race track during the R15 championships(rectified the front- alignment) and another minor crash recently..

                      Chassis bend??? Is that possible??

                      Guys, Please help me out here.. I have asked him not to rectify anything until I get back to him over the phone.

                        I can understand the swing-arm bend. Chassis bend??? Is that possible??

                        Delta Box frame not so Delta now, eh? I smell something fishy from the service center. How bad was your crash?

                          Get the insurance and make sure you get both replaced, dont let them work on chassis, replacement is best option you got..

                          Chassis bend are hard to find man, you should feel it when u ride the bike, and don't say you crashed in track, say you just fell like that to the insurance guys

                            Chassis bend is impossible for minor crashes. Even am not sure of the SC's claim. If they want to change try out the option of insurance. If not possible, just wreck the bike further deliberately and claim insurance. I see no other option.

                              The crash was not 'that' bad.. I over-cooked a right hand turn.. had to change the right-side fairing..
