Gas tank range of Lifan 200GY5 before going to reserve

yvrGY200 · 06-20-2010, 11:07 AM

Hi,
I am new here and love excellent info on this site. Just wonder on a full tank how many KMS or Miles can a Lifan 200GY5 go before the hitting reserve. Approx how many KMS or Miles on reserve if anyone tried it ?
Regards,

Miin

It's been so long since I had mine I can't remember anymore 8O I *think* I may have made it back to Abbotsford from Princeton on a tank, but it's possible I stopped at Hope to refuel, sorry I can't recall for certain... I'm sure someone will be able to help, quite a few gy riders here...

When I first got my bike and JUST rode it to work, I was getting about 250 - 300 miles to a fill up, which is about 2.5 gallons. Acutally I didn't even have to switch to reserve at any point. I doubted the distance so I measured the distance in my car and it was accurate.

To answer the other half, I've never driven on reserve until empty, so I guess that's not really much help is it?

Wow that is crazy

250-300 miles to a tank before reserve. That is like 400-500KMS to a tank. Thanks for the tip.

I had a 2006 with the push-rod motor. Needle raised to last slot and more open exhaust.
I was getting around 160 miles before hitting reserve and could do about 30-40 more on reserve.
Actually ran it dry once with a small gas can strapped on the back. Just had to know how far a tank would go. :twisted:

It was better before I made the changes.

Hi

my GY5 odometer is in KMs even though the speedo is in Miles. I generally fill up every 200kms - this is before reserve.

I find that I get an easy 300 Km's per tank on my 2006 pushrod GY5. I have never had to go on reserve. A fill-up usually takes between 7-8 litres after approx 300 Km's of riding. According to my owners manual, the fuel tank capacity is 10.5 litres

i did 140 miles, 40 was mild offroading and had gas to spare

Hmm, after reading this I'm thinking maybe my speedo is miles and my odometer is kms? Then again I did meaure the distance in my car. I'm confused now. 8O

Good to hear you some of you guys are getting over 300 kms = 200 miles before hitting reserve. I guess now have to find time to give it a try. Also surprise to see so many Greater Vancouver folks are on member of this site.
