I understand the range anxiety. I still have the stock 13-liter tank on my DR and carry two extra liters, but I am not riding in remote areas. Still, fuel is always on my mind. This was a great adventure on great roads. I enjoyed seeing this slice of Australia. Thanks!
The standard tank would get us in a lot of problems in Western Australia. It gives about 260km/163 miles. Ok for civilisation between towns. My 20 litre Acerbis gets about 400km/250 miles. It's great for day trips in civilisation but I wouldn't like to depend on it in more remote areas. Especially if the going is slow in sand. I'm going to upgrade to a 30 litre transparent safari sometime. Not urgent...but it will really sort out the running on fumes. safaritanks.com.au/product/suzuki-dr650se-30-litre/ There is also a guy called Skids and Stuff who rides a DR. This is him on the South Coast - he can really ride - and he has a 30 litre and nearly run out!! th-cam.com/video/1NoAcbP1suQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/F-j7PowrXUo/w-d-xo.html Enjoy and thanks for your comments 😀👍
