Ducati owners need some input please

[CINDERS]

Thank you for your reply GR
What your saying is pretty close to what I have gathered I do not know what size tank your Duke carried but now they are all @15.5L on the Superbikes which means this thing wont be going across the Nullabor not without a support vehicle anyway.
They are saying you get more MPG by using 98 Octane which I do for all our vehicles and after talking to the dealer who is a friend of some 38 years it seems I am getting the exact same mileage as his 1200 Multistrada don't know if that's good or bad as I am giving away nearly 400CC maybe he is doing better than me anyway it calc'ed out to 47 miles per gallon my wifes CBR500RA gets 72 MPG Ahh! well the price we pay for twistie fun.

Yeah, 15 point something litres sounds familiar, seem to remember it was a gnats todger over 3 gallons in old money.....so barely able to crack 40mpg, but that was riding around London so can't really complain....... and yes, I always ran mine on 97-99 octane SUL. Mine had been dynojeted for the airbox mod and the carbon cans, although, it didn't seem to make much difference to the mpg, just ran smoother.

Fantastic things, I loved it, and was heartbroken when mine was stolen......
