Default How Many KMs With A Liter?

As you know I ride a 2007 883R, with 2300 Km.
12 liters of fuel capacity, I can ride for 120-130 before the fuel led turns on. Thought I could ride for 18-20 Kms with a liter.
How many kms do you ride before the led turns on?

By my calculations... which could be, and probably are, in error... it looks like I get about 15 Kilometers per Liter of fuel. That's on my 07 Road King with a Stage 1 setup that you can see in my signature.

You might get more responses by first converting liters to U.S. gallons and km to miles.

Yeah, being in construction I have a great mistrust and misunderstanding of anything metric.

But you'dhave toadmit there is some elegance and logic in it!


METRIC SYSTEM1

LENGTH

Unit Abbreviation Number of Meters Approximate U.S. Equivalent

kilometer km 1,000 0.62 mile

hectometer hm 100 328.08 feet

dekameter dam 10 32.81 feet

meter m 1 39.37 inches

decimeter dm 0.1 3.94 inches

centimeter cm 0.01 0.39 inch

millimeter m 0.001 0.039 inch

micrometer µm 0.000001 0.000039 inch

BTW my Bob does about 18-20 km/l
Two-up most of the time.

I average about 10 Furlongs/gill on my Road King riding two up on the super slab.

Don't blame us, blame the Queen/King on the other side of the pond. That is where the US system got it's base after all. And no, the metric system is not elegant or logical. At least the US system is based on something tangible, even if it is old.

But, to answer your original question, my wife's old Sporty (98) got about 17Km/L. It was carbed with a Mikuni, so I don't know if you can use it as a guide.

Furlong? Gill? ...and I thought the metric system was confusing.
