Bump for question...Honda inner web says 4.1 gallons including 1.1 gallon does this mean plus 1.1 for a total of 5.2 Gallons..
Canadian version......15.4 liters including 4.2 liters = 19.6 total...
or is it just 15.4 liters or 4.1 gallons...

I wanna say 15.4 litres. Although what I did to increase by 1/2 litre or maybe a bit more is pull out the white tube to (prevent from spilling when filling), that fits a couple inches into tank filler neck. I pushed a very small screw driver between the white collar and black tank material once you take the filler cap off. Then CAREFULLY... score/cut the white collar with a very sharp knife, (DO NOT Cut stock black tank) using fore noted as a guide and remove voila, extra tank volume.
Just be mindful when filling, you don’t fill too fast and/or overfill. Have never had any problems doing this mod.
Cheers,
j

I can say that I’ve left the cabin in the morning and rode all day long out in the National Forest not returning until dark, weekend after weekend, including a 5 mile wide open run getting to the forest entrance and the same coming back, always having a two gallon fuel can on the rack, and have never once had to use it in 3 K miles. They really do sip gas.

4.1 total, distance depends on use. When I had mine, I never checked the actual mileage. I do know I could use it every day and go around 3-4 weeks between filling up.

Is that running bone dry in the tank or before the fuel flashes or just after the fuel flashes.
Never went bone dry. I’m thinking fuel gauge flashing. Honestly, fuel isn’t going to be a concern for you.

Don’t put too much thought into it, just go ride and have fun. Remember, they have bigger tanks because they have bigger engines and more ground weight. Have fun buddy!:D

Well went 40Km to our first pit stop for gas.....My gauge didn't move,still showing full so we didn't need any gas but my buddies Wolverine 700 and the wildcat trail both were down 1/4 tank i was impressed.So on our way back home the first line on the gas gauge went out at 63Km and by the time i got home it went down 2 lines and had 86Km total run..
I think this is going to be great on gas....

FWIW I was working around the house and my gauge started flashing Low Fuel. I put about half a 5 gal. can (all I had) in it. Could see the gas in the tank and gauge read Full.

Precisely why I added the .5 to .75 litres (tank mod) as these guys sip fuel....
