In this video I send off a full tank of gas until it is completely empty. Once and for all, we FZ6 riders will know with certainty how far one can go on F-Trip. I hope this brings you some comfort because filming this episode brought me a lot of anxiety haha.

69 F-Trip. Makes sense.
Thank you for doing this for us
Happy to be of service! 👍
To be honest i always refuel when i see 2 out of 6 bars out of fear haha, really helpfull video!
Happy to help so you can live without range anxiety! Happy riding 👍
That´s a lot!! btw, I never rode mine past 30km with the F-Trip too. What a fine machine
And i was afraid of going over 10km on trip F lol... This is hyper useful dammit! Thanks
Glad you know now! 👍
Thank man now I feel a lot more relaxed about the range!
That’s great! 👍
I did 75km on the highway on F-trip and still had 2 liters left on the tank when I filled up, refill up to the brim was 16-something liters... It sips fuel and it has a huge tank!! most weekend rides I need to fill up once for every twice of my friend's hahaha
Just what I was looking for - thanks Calvin! I've been getting about 290-300km before the F-trip comes on. And for me it seems like there's probably about 4 litres still in the tank so 350km might be possible.
I managed to almost completely dry out the tank after around 360km. I do not recommend it though, because having your bike not react to the throttle due to lack of gas can be a bit frightening :p. Most of the distance was driving on a highway around 120-130kmh. If I remember correctly I filled up about 18.8 liters on the gas station after I barely got to it :p.
I think it really depends on what fuel you use, altitude, temperature, how clean your air filter is, tyres and other factors that will differ how much mileage you can get out of your tank. Though this gives you a base line to go off. Great Video.
I've had my 04 FZ6 since new and always filled up at 1 bar. only just discovered this year about the F trip from a co-worker who also owns one. 350km not out of the question on mine now. wow
Good to know. When that thing starts flashing I never know how long. 70 kilometres is crazy
Thanks you for the test ☺️☺️
My pleasure... haha
dude i`m looking at a 20 k miles FZ6 2007 for rather cheap here in Denmark .. so soooo tempted to pick it up
Do it! Best decision you’ll ever make on two wheels!
Thought the area looked familiar! I've been there before where I'm 20km into my F Trip on my fz6 and still had 30 km to go to my next gas station 😬
I own a 2008 Fazer 600 and actually ran out of fuel last Sunday about 30 seconds from the petrol station, it died dead on 43 miles for me on fuel light. :)
Excellent video mate
Thanks! 👍
Thanks for the test!!! 👏👏 My F-Trip record is 33km, and didn't enjoy it... My longest range from full to start the F-Trip is 330km, so after seen that, it means that I could reach 400km with one full tank? 🤯 (Obviously with a very quiet and nice touch of the throttle and without passing the 8k RPM.)
Best i have done was 335km BEFORE the light came, highway only trip.
400+km should br doable with smooth and slow riding. But that makes sense with the massive 19L tank.
Wow that’s some good fuel economy you’ve got.
@@CalvinmYesterday i did 375km on a single tank. Managed to fill it with 17.6L, so it should have about 1.4L left. 21.3Km per L.
Theoretical range, 408km.
Also did my own sparkplug and coolent change with help of your great video's. So thanks for that!
I've done 340km on a full tank, still heard some teeny tiny rest sloshing when I rolled up to the gas station. The FZ6 is a touring beast! At the same time, it makes me a bit sad that it'll be almost impossible to find another road bike with the same kind of range :(
I did the same and got 90km on the F-Trip (350km on the tank). but also ran out with 270km once, but that maybe was caused by the dead battery i had to bumpstart that morning.
Fuel milage really depend on the air temp as well. I sometimes get 5,2liters/100km, but in Winter it goes as high as 6,8l
Hmm, maybe the dense air makes the engine more efficient! 👍 90km on f trip is a long way!
Haha nice dude! Good to know :D
Ty bro
I ride mine consistently 200 miles per tank in the City. Easily done 40 miles on the reserve and still had a 1/4 gallon left. Highway riding you could prolly get really close to 250.
Pushed it to 50km the other day. Could have gone a little longer then. 😂. Thanks for a great video.
At least now you know!
2006 FZ6 - I've done 199 miles (320 km) BEFORE my E light came on. Mostly highway cruising around 75-80 mph. Those stop were killing your mileage
Wow that's great mileage before E light. Yes, city driving really kills the fuel economy.
I use my 58 reg FZ6 FOR Commuting, I regularly get 200 miles from a tank of fuel ( RIDING EASY) often there's 2 litres still in the tank
Now, I know how far my bike can go before empty. Yaaaaaaa 😂😎 thank you.
You’re welcome! 👍
E light is scary man, I can't do it, I'm pulling over. This video gave me some price of mind though.
Now you can ride with ease knowing how far you can go on E light. Happy riding 👍
Piece of mind* Yeah thanks.
So I was watching all your FZ6 videos but because of an opportunity I actually buyed a FZ1S... So I was a bit terrified of it for a week (first "big bike") but now i'm getting used to it, I did a trip, 90% hypermilling it on full tank maybe 16~18L just to see what is the range, I didn't know about the F-trip at the time but yeah I reached my destination with F-trip on and if I remember right around 20km on F-trip, at the time I didn't really know what was that F-trip, so the whole trip was around 270km most of it was freeway (speed between 80~110 km/h), some 40km of mountain roads and around 15 km of city riding, I was pretty surprised with the range, I would say the FZ1 can do 300 km on a full tank if hypermilling it. I imagine the FZ6 can do even better ranges. That said... on city the FZ1 just drinks and drinks when idling on the stop lights... it also gets pretty hot I would say in city riding probably gets around 150km a tank, after nightmares with my old bike having rust on the fuel tank, if I see my bike is half full, I just go to the gas station and fill the tank.
Hello ..can you make a video how too change temperature reading from Fahrenheit to Celsius tq
Never rode mine past 25 kph, for fear of being stranded, wicked video, big up man for your excellent content!! 👏🏽👏🏽
Did the same thing with my 06fz 6 years ago found out that it was seventy kilometers on reserve or so. The bike gets just over 400k per tank.
hehe soo long befor figure it :) hint start out testing this on your next bike ;-)
My record on the bandit 650 2005 wass 375km on a tank.
Challenge accepted 👍
I was told you don't want to run too deep into F because the fuel acts as a lubricant for the pump in the tank. When it is ran dry or very low the gas isn't there.
Just passing forum lore.
I go back and forth on this idea. Part of me thinks it’ll be fine because it was starved for a short time. Other part of me worries 😬 I’ve run car fuel pumps momentarily before without fuel and they’ve been fine... I’ll hope for the best.
I've been a mechanic for 30 years and yes you are correct. Also the gasoline acts as a coolant to keep the pump from getting hot. Same is true for cars.
@@whobedex33 This means I’m filling up
The manual states 3.6l in the reserve. So going avg 20km/l you should get at least 60km. So don't be too scared
Would this be the same for the S1 version? Thank you
Hello ..Some months back i bought a fz6 and i dont know if i do something wrong with the fuel efficiency but know with full tank i make around 80 km and i have 2/6 bars i thinks its cuz moving in the center of town mostly......At summer when i do free road close to 100km i had 4/6 bars but in center of town ''burns'' around 10liters at 100km hope i can test it somehow.btw if its full capacity around of 250km i thinkg will be ok😀
Nice
Yeah, I wouldn't make a habit of it. Fuel pump does not like overheating.
i am geting only 240 -250 km with one full load fazer 600 2007 model s1 wity very slow ride swift on 3 -4 k what am i doing wrong?
Or you can just read the manual :D Fuel reserve amount is 3.6liter or 0.95 us galon...
My record with my fz6 is 309km before switching to F. I'm always over 290 though before F hits.
That's great mileage!
Do you still have your zx6/zzr600? Your earlier videos helped me a ton
My friend owned the ZX6r and has since sold it unfortunately. Glad the videos helped you!
And I was so scared at 10km on F trip :)))))
Now you don’t have to worry! 👍👍
Curious. According to my records, my '05 FZ6 takes, on average, 15l (~4gal) to fill from F and gets 21km/l (~49mpg), for an average range of 315km before I get a fuel light. @5:00 is mention 315km to a full tank is extraordinary. My manual says I have a 19.4l (5.13gal) tank, so 403km/251mi average range. Do the American bikes have larger tanks?
I have the same experience. According to the manual 3,4 L is left in the tank when F-trip starts flashing. This is in line with Calvin MC and around 69 km also on my bike (´07 FZ6 s2, around 20 Km/L, European). If I fill up the fuel tank exactly when the flashing starts it takes 12 L at the top. This adds up to a tank size of around 15,4 L. But the manual says 19,4! Did Yamaha put a smaller tank on our bikes and forget to correct the manual? Or maybee I should try the same as @MC Calvin. Run the tank dry in order to see if the reserve tank is 7,4 L instead of 3,4. Or maybee @MC Calvin did count the gallons on his bike?
The hidden 4L!!! A little research resulted in a kind of answer. The size of the tank is 19.4L . That includes reserve amount of ~3.6L. But if you have a center stand and "tip" the bike forward it is possible to fill up the tank totally. At least that is what people say. That remains to be seen and I will definitely try. 4L is an extra 80 km!
@@RyanogIsaac once after 400km of riding I dried out the tank and put in 19.2L on the center stand at the gas station. So it probably is 19.4
69km in reserve.... How many kilometers can last a fully tank ??
Maximum around 315 km’s for the full tank
@@Calvinm Not bad!
So 40 mi in usa
Why do you drive on kilometers instead of American mile per hours bro.
Duuuuuuude
What are you doing running it past empty trying to restart it dry ?
Not good
You do that and you will get air in the supply like and need to prime the lines.
And I got around 85km on my f trip and this was using 91 ron fuel.
On premium I am sure I could make 100k from ftrip which would mean I can get 400km from a tank of 95
I had to do it for the people! It isn’t nice to the fuel pump but oh well. Sounds like you get some epic mileage!
Actually, I dried out the tank once. No problem with starting the bike again after filling it up at all. Squeezed in 18.8 liters at the gas station. Managed to get around 360km of highway cruising at 120-130kmh out of full tank :p Got around 80km on e-light :p
