Gee, how much does our tank hold?
Had to switch to reserve on the way too work when she started sputtering :o

I once put 11 litres, which is just over 2.9 US gals in mine.

In about a week or so I should have pictures with the final purple paint. It just got buffed out by the painter and I am supposed to have the parts back this week. I have seen the side covers in the Stryker purple and the color is awesome!

Does the S40 average about 40 miles per gallon?

Should be 50-60 mpg depending on your grade of gas.
Less if you scare the hardly driven crowd.

I got 63 mpg regularly when she had the stock jets.

Wow! Is that stock? You may be running rich or just flogging the crap out of it! ;D

Stock, lots of stop and go high speed traffic around here. So alot of 0 to 60 and back again. And i do flog it a bit because i like the new exhaust sound. ;D

If I ride all calm and peaceful.....I get in the high 50's.

When I ride in crazy in the mountains......my mileage can drop to the low 40's.

This has to be one of my biggest disappointments about this bike - not a big enough gas tank. When I ride to work every day, I have to fill up a couple of times a week! Pain. And on short 2-300 mile trips into the mountains/hills of NC, a real pain, because gas stations are few and far between!

IF that is your only complaint about the bike then consider a tank swap. My link above gives full details on how relatively easy it is to mount a 4.2 gal Vstar 650 tank.
