    On some bikes, there is some more petrol left on the other side of the tank from the tap, so if you lean it over, you can get some more fuel out of the tank. Look into it.

    😆 EPIC. My buddy had a habit of leaving his chargers plugged in. 3 times on our trip his battery was dead🤭 We would put a rope on our pegs then stand on it while pulling him to bump start. Fun times😄
    KLR has a secret couple liters on the right side. It gets trapped, and when empty you can lay the bike down to get the fuel over the frame to the petcock. Roughly 30km range

      Oh wow cool! I wish I had that extra 30km. Would have saved me!😅 so glad the old couple saved me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    I carry a thin hose, about 1,5 m long, to pump out the fuel from the car - it weights way less than 1 liter canister and not requires special place, I will have only to find the empty botle or sth. In worst case i will lay bike near the car and put the hose direct into tank. That's the plan, haven't tested it before :).

    • @MarcTravels

      That’s a great idea with the hose 👍🏼

    Nice Self Wash Stations 😹 at the river crossing! 💪😎
    You made a big mistake there. 😬 That you went until all the gas in the tank ran out. If you stopped immediately when you felt empty...
    You were very lucky with those people. 🙏😊
    What a day 😁🤝

      @MarcTravels  3 года назад +2

      Haha yeah, I cut out a lot of cursing 🤬😂 anyways, I figured that it was my fault cause I tried to keep it running after I ran out of fuel and the carburetor ran completely dry. So yeah next time I won’t do that, just stop right away:) hopefully there is no next time 🤣

    Cool,man!! 👍👍😉 What's the average fuel consumption of honda dominator per 100 kms?? So clean water on those river crossings that you've had....wow!!) And i imagine how quiet is there!!))

    • @MarcTravels
      @MarcTravels  3 года назад +1

      Hey man, thanks for watching! So apparently it’s very different cause I get a lot of messages where people tell me what their Honda takes, but it all comes down to the right setup of the carburator. To answer your question, my Honda usually takes 5L per 100kms give or take. In Germany I get the 102 octane ultimate fuel and with that it’s even less. On this off road dirt and sand tracks it was way higher consumption tho, that’s why we ran out of fuel 😃 hope I could help you out, cheers Marc 🤙🏼

    • @andrewnahnichuk6300
      @andrewnahnichuk6300 3 года назад

      @@MarcTravels yeah, thanks 👍 for the respond.... it's a pretty good consumption of 5 liters...not bad at all!)) Of course for off-roading it's much higher.
