  • most accurate way to measure MPG?

    Whats the most accurate way to measure MPG on these kats? its tough to get an constant amount into the tank each fill when you have to top it off, so I can't measure it like I do my car. how do you guys do it?

    I try to fill to the bottom of the fill neck. It's the only thing on the tank I've seen to use as a reference mark.

      Trip meter.
      90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

        I take the miles traveled, and divide by the gallons used at fill up

          Then again, I don't really care. I just check to see how much gas is in the tank before I head out on a ride. When the dummy light comes on, the dummy holding the bars better find a gas station.

                    Really, if it's on the centerstand and you fill it to the bottom of the neck, it's accurate enough.
