So does anyone know what it is really? Manual says 20L but that seems like way more than I've ever gotten in there.

Never really done a full drain down and refill.........Just know that from Full to fuel warning light coming on its never more than 75 miles..........And I wouldnt want to run out and only have 2 stroke oil going in there without petrol.......When the light does come on and I've lifted the tank to turn off the Oil tank it does seem mighty "light" without much fuel in there.......If I had to guess I'd say 16 litres as a max........

Looks like somebody else ran out of fuel too ! I did this with mine returning back from its first MOT test ! How embarrassing ! Mine does about the same - 70 -75 miles from full till fuel light on. In the area that I live I have to plan my rides to be between petrol stations rather than pubs like I do with my RS 250 Aprilia ! I dont want to see how far the Bim goes on reserve - already done that - its not far ! Laughing

Oh I'm not embarrassed to run out of fuel at all.

But, the second time I got a little embarrassed

It was 4.2 gallons, or 16 liters in real money.
