Thread: KTM LC4 SM tank range

Hi all,

What is the best tank range for the standard 640 LC4 (13 litre?) tank and the best for the SMC (9 litre?) tank.

Is it worth putting a smaller tank on, or would the reduction in range make it a hinderence to good rideouts?

Thanks.

few weeks ago i had done over 100 miles (110 i think), so stopped for fuel and it onlt took 7-8 litres to fill it up so i rekon i had another 40 miles ish?

pretty good me tinks

12L tank BTW.

i start looking for fuel around 50-55 miles on my 625......fooker ran out at 46 miles once on a fast long right hander....bloody caught me out that did

Only pushed it to around 95 miles, i figure thats plenty for me to give my arse a rest too while i fill up

i struggle to get 45miles before reserve on my 660, emptied it in 35miles a couple of times, was riding like a coont though

I had an FMX that I had to strangle to enjoy and needed to see the garage sign every 60miles. The Duke reserve doesn't come on 'til 100 to 120 depending on how hard the sesh is and there's still 2 litres left.........120 - 140 maybe. Tis good.

IS this a duke 2 your talking about - the reserve doesnt come on till 100-120 miles

Mine consistantly came on at 70-80 and i felt VERY lucky once when i got causght out and got 110 miles out of a tank 120-140 is very optimistc IMO

Of course it depends how/where you ride but even still i wouldnt think it would be phsically possible to get 140 out of a LC4 tank
