What sort of mileage are people getting from their new 2017 Ninjas? Today my fuel gauge started flashing at 260km - I'm paranoid once that happens so I rolled into the petrol station and brimmed the tank with 10.7L of fuel after doing 276km (171.5 miles) with a good mix of city, highway and country roads, so that's roughly 3.9L/100km (~60mpg US).
According to Kawasaki specs the 2017 has a 15L tank - there should have been over 4L of fuel left - or another 100km of range. The digital dash range was saying 80km (50 miles) left so not far off I guess. Next time I'll see if I can roll out 320km (200 miles) from the tank. I don't ride super hard, that little "economy riding" light is usually on. But I also don't like to push my luck too much, this is my first bike without a reserve switch and my last one had a monster 22L tank! Haha!
How far have you gotten from a tank?
