S4R Fuel Consumption
How many miles are you getting on a full tank before the fuel light comes on?
Currently on my S4R its coming on at 90 miles which seems ridiculous. I do think that the fueling is way too rich, anyway its going in for its first service on thursday so will get it sorted then. |

Weve had this conversation on the forum before Webby...im afraid to say Logyk gets even less than that I think (but he has got a power commander).
Im getting about 100 miles on average (with the DP pipes/ECU/Filter). DOnt forget the S4R tank is much smaller than other monnies too.. Cheers Nat |

after you've done a few miles, I used to get about 130-145 depending on how 'good' i was...

I can confirm that the S4 tank is exactly the same as the S4R tank...
100 percent... |

Not great fuel mileage, low 40mpg......apart from a track day, when it dropped to 19mpg!!!. The other problem is that Ducati quote 15 litres, but you can only get this in if you fill it right to the very top of the tank...found that out when I ran it in and ran out of fuel after 116 miles!!

S4r gas guzzler!
I have recently bought a Monster S4r with Termi's, Ducati updated ECU, etc. It only has 1,800 miles on the clock, has had 2 services and runs fine, but the fuel light comes on around 65 miles!!!
Surely this is not right? Is it because of the Termi's and Chip? Does anyone out there have the same setup, and if so what mileage do you get? Thanks. CJ. |

I've got an Arrow full sysytem and DP filter/airbox mod and std ecu - I am still getting about 150kms (95ish miles) to the fuel light,but then filling up only takes about 10 litres too.
But its a fun 150kms !! :twisted: |

My S4R is bog standard as far as the engine & exhaust is concerned & I get about 90 miles before the fuel light comes on and about 10 litres to fill it up.

Might be worth popping into somewhere like Motorapido & getting them to dyno it for you, to check on the fuelling etc? C |

My first tank returned 114 miles before the light, but then again i fill to the top dispite ducati's instruction to fill to rubber collar in the tank. The 15 litres they claim the tank holds is 2 litres short if you stop at the collar. My 114 miles were spent doing 70 miles at 80+ up the M1 :twisted: and the rest around Nottingham
I thought that was ok when i used to get 135 from a 17 litre suzuki sv650 |
