Fuel Tank Capacity

... Additionally, you have a Gen III which has the average fuel consumption gauge. ....

Yes, but please read my post above. I never even bother to look at mine, as far as I am concerned it's totally useless.

I agree that the instantaneous fuel consumption gauge is almost useless, but the average consumption readout is useful and surprisingly accurate as long as you remember to reset it when you fill your tank.

Note that accuracy is poor if you have a fuelling device such as a Power Commander on the bike.

I have done multiple IBA rides on a 2015 FJR1300ES and I don’t punch it past 300 km high speed on highway or 350 km backroads
I am putting a 4.5 gallon auxiliary tank on for 2025 for the extra distance I will need to ride in the 2025 Ironbutt Rally

Every road in NZ is a backroad ((almost) so 340km sounds like a good compromise. Good luck in IBR. I'd like to hear about how you do your tank installation.

I wasn't talking about the range function, which is of marginal usefulness. I was talking about the average fuel consumption reading as RK alludes to above. I find it very useful.

Yes, sorry, in a hurry, really must engage brain before opening mouth (or tapping keyboard).
