That's definitely BIG SKY country! How has your fuel mileage been? I can go anywhere from 250 to 300km before the light comes on depending on where and how I am riding and there is still more than 4 liters left in the tank.
Hey Bob! So far I'm happy to say I get about 22-23 km/L in city and high speed highway riding. I recently went on a ride to Kananaskis and through the mountains the speed limit is 90 kmh and I was averaging 26 km/L!! When the fuel light comes on, I seem to be able to fill about 10.5L so I guess I have another 4.5L to go!
Next year I'd like to ride from Jasper to Banff along the Icefields Parkway. It's about 288km without fuel and I've never tried it on a motorcycle. I think the W800 will make it.
@@deinfluencing I've gone over 300km before the light came on riding around 90 to 100kph and mild acceleration. You'll be fine with 4 liters in reserve after the light comes on. That's almost 26km/liter.
Hello, I find the vibrations are still present from 3,000-4,000 rpms but they don't bother me anymore. Above 4,000 rpms they completely disappear. The seat is also softening slowly so it's more comfortable. I've only driven a Kawasaki Ninja 500 to compare to another parallel twin and it's smoother than that was.

@@deinfluencing Sounds about right I get anywhere from 68 to 73 miles per imperial gallon.

Hi! How the vibrations is over the 4000 rpm after time? Have a nice ride
