RYCA tank with raptor (Read 64 times)

Ruttly Serious Thumper Offline Thumpers Rule Posts: 5112 Manteca , CA Gender:	RYCA tank with raptor 04/30/17 at 14:58:45 I average 115 miles before I hit reserve with my RYCA fuel tank with the real raptor petcock. Give or take depending on how I'm riding it. Question to the RYCA owners here , is this good , average or bad ? Keep in mind I don't know how accurate the RYCA speedo is. I'm seeing that $300 GPS Speedo in my near future. Maybe a air/fuel ratio gauge too !

There is no way I'm getting 55 mpg , just not possible the way I ride it. Excuse me while I go dump more cash into the Tracker!

My main takes exactly 1.5 gallons - if I rock and shake the bike for the last 0.25 gal. That usually gets me 70 miles or so. I've never really pushed into the RES too far, and I don't plan to either. As soon as I hit RES I immediately go to a gas station.

Real Raptor you say? I ordered a 'Raptor fuel petcock', how can I tell if'n it's the real Raptor? Does it say Raptor on it, or made in japan, or what?

Marked with Yamaha & Yamaha part # & in a white box. Lots of junk Chinese copies out there on eBay. Got mine direct from Lancer , he only sells the real deal. Yeah I'm thinking 70-75 miles before reserve sounds more like it. I will figure it out to a gnats a$$ when I get my GPS Speedo.
Will have to calculate mpg & log fuel ups. The speedo & odo are said to be deadly accurate. Peel the harness open one more time and move ignition switch & idiot lights off fuel tank & weld up the plate & powder coat.
