I am looking at buying a 2015/2016 Forty Eight (XL1200c).  My only issue is the small fuel tank, 7.9 litres, just wondering what sort of fuel economy should I expect from this bike??????

Welcome to the forum, buy a scooter if your chasing fuel economy

150km if you're lucky. You'll end up replacing the tank with one larger like I did

I'm already tired of 'worrying about' fuel stops with my Dyna.
( this 'touring about' is all brand new to me )
Feel sorry for those with bikes having less capacity to carry fuel.

P.S. My gauges tell me that a full tank will get about 350 Ks.

It shouldn't be impacted unless you get it done at a McDonald's drive through...

The mechanics who install these things generally know what they are doing. Are you getting it tuned at the same time? I'd imagine after getting a Stage 1 and tune it will impact on the fuelling in some in some way i.e. more or less fuel efficient. Well, that's how it went from my experience. Wait until you go really wild on some nice long twisty bits ... You can watch the fuel gauge move right to left in real time!

Think of it as an investment in making you more interesting to the oil heiress of your dreams...
