Thank you, Stew. I really enjoy my Clarke, 4.7-gallon fuel tank. I am averaging a consistent 55 mpg from my BRP. The Clarke fuel tank hits reserve after using 4.0-gallons. Therefore, I can ride 220 miles before I hit reserve, and still have a substantial reserve of 38 miles.

Here's a photograph of my Christian Brother Andy descending a steep, rocky slope on his Yamaha TT-R225.



You can see my Honda XR650L at the bottom of this slope. Andy is more of a kamakaze rider than I. 8O I decided to walk to the top of this particular hill to enjoy the view, rather than ride my Big Red Pig up the steep, nasty slope!

Incidentally, Andy dropped his bike after riding to this spot. I don't enjoy picking up my XR650L, so I try to drop it as little as possible!
