heres a question if you filled your z1000 standard tank .

[zedrider]

if you filled your standard z1000 tank to the top and rode the bike for normal running around roughly how many miles would you do till you hit reserve ?

[Skunkwurcx]

I get about 200 kms before reserve on my '77 Z1000 if my memory serves me right. I've only been out on it a cpl of times so far this season and have yet to hit reserve as I have topped up before any run. But yeah, somewhere around 200 kms.

[GUYZED]

I all ways like to fill up after 100 miles,but you should get 120 before you hit reserve.

[zedrider]

thankyou for your answers i think i better look at the jetting . as i`m geting roughly 76 miles before the reserve .

[AL MARSHALL]

agree with guyzed, i fill up at 100 miles. reserve is about 120

[mikey]

Yeah about 120 for me as well but like to fill up before then.

[BShaw]

75 to 125 roughly but you have to work hard to get it down to 75 or do loads of short runs in traffic... ltd has a smaller tank if you have one of them

My old Z1 used to regularly do 120-130 miles on a tankfull around town and when 'my crowd' went on a long run we all used to get 145 before switching onto reserve, some of the lads with Devil pipes used to get slightly more and performance to boot! 2* Z900, 1* Z1 & 2 * Z1b's.

Hi
my Z1-R, with the big tank, used to go onto reserve at 140 miles.

Speak toSteve Bowdler he has an LTD......

[DogsbolloxofZ1B]

Wasn't the Z900/Z1000 tank slightly bigger capacity than Z1's? Without checking I thought the '73-'75 Z1 range was 17 litres & Z900/z1000 18 litres. If so you should get 135+ for sure driven sensibly.

[BShaw]

you should be getting oround ten miles per ltr on normal use ( look at me all metric now.

My LTD does around 100-110 miles to reserve, my Lawson has been getting around 85 to reserve but that is riding around London in traffic.
