Motorcycle Forum / General / Yamaha / July 2004V Max range.
Fella at work bought a Max a short while back. Tells me its giving an 80 mile range???????? and cuts out when switched to reserve, even before its dried up. Is this the norm. I'd be a tad pissed it was. Can you source a bigger tank for them?. Fanks muchly. > Fella at work bought a Max a short while back.

Average mpg for the MAX is 34 mpg or 136 miles per tank. So that sounds possible to me. Brian > > Fella at work bought a Max a short while back.

He won't have a manual. Hence no ideas about whats wrong with the Max. Cheers >> >> >> Fella at work bought a Max a short while back.

Cheers Gas mileage sounds low but is it stock pipes and carbs and how much hard driving? My stock `97 Cdn V-max got 12km/litre when pounding it to just over 17 km/litre steady cruising at 120 kmh. Carb sync can greatly affect your gas mileage. The gas tank is 15 litres, a litre under the 4 US gallons someone mentioned. There is no "petcock" for the reserve. The handlebar switch bypasses the sensor in the gas tank that switches off the fuel pump when the tank gets below 12 litres. The switch should be in the "On" position for normal operation and "Reserve" for access to the last 3 litres. If the switch position is not the "cutting out" problem, the handlebar switches have been known to corrode. I've never heard of a sensor going bad.
