Talon Range per Tank of Fuel

[Doogle]

Speedo DRD makes a mileage correction device for Hondas, one of them will work on the Talon. But there are 3 speed sensors on the Talon, I'm unsure what happens between using one or three, both choices are options depending on your setup. I can't add more info, I haven't looked into it.

I was responding mostly for Dankathy. I don't know if he considered his tire circumference increase effects on perceived MPG.

We used 70 gallons during the 12 hour TexPlex race.

Could make about 3 laps before needing fuel.

Hess offers an 11 gallon option using a stock pump.

That's good news. Removing the plastic tube in the gas filler increases the stock capacity from 7.3 gallons (Honda spec) to 8.6 gallons. There's already a 10 gallon aftermarket tank but a 1.4 gallon increase isn't going to get me to lay down $400. A 2.4 gallon increase might ... maybe... depending on what Hess wants for theirs. 🤔

I dont consider mpg at all, and rarely if at all use the speedometer- just run with the traffic or whatever seems right when on the pavement. We use a tablet for the electronic maps ( gps), and the wife tracks most of our rides just for the fun of it. I normally dump the 2 1/2 gallon rotopax in at 60ish miles and finish the day. Long rides i put the 4 1/2 gallon in at lunchtime (100-120 miles) and dont give it to much more thought.

130-140 miles with stock wheels and tires.

Well, poop, that blows up my numbers. I've since changed to 30" Chicane RX tires and my trip meter reads about 3 miles less than the GPS on a 75 mile ride. Although running til empty was a fun experiment, I doubt I'll do it again with the 30" tires - maybe next summer but the season has ended here until 60* temps return in March. 😢 🥶 😢 🥶 😢 🥶
