Hi,

Being that the XB9R/S are confined to a measly 3.1 gallons of fuel in the frame, what is the nominal tank range (should say frame range ;))?

I guess it really can't be any worse than the RC...

It is a total of 3.7 gal w/ 1.1gal reserve I think. I get about 120 miles before the little yellow light comes on. They did integrate a low fuel lcd tripodometer which starts from 0 the second the low fuel light comes on.

I know for a fact it is 149.5 miles. How may you ask....because I am a stuborn sometimes stupid but not dumb idiot. I thought I had to find out for sure if it was a hundred and fifty mile range. Well it ain't it 149.5 miles and I found this out way out in the country of north carolina at the bottom of a hill.
Now once I recovered from the heart attack of pushing it up hill for 3/4 of a mile that I fill up at about 135 miles no matter what.
but I am a fat guy and your milage may vary.:bluecreep :toothy :biggrin :bigdork
