capacity is 2.4 gallons, so I feel 55-60 miles of range is realis c. Day one was all fast riding, and I was on the thro le aggressively for most of it. Day two was slower and more technical, so I was definitely on the thro le less. I certainly used less fuel, but I didn't measure it this me. We were having too much fun, sorry. Oil Tank: It's a huge bummer that the oil tank is black, because you can't see the oil level when filling it un l it's too late. It has a sensor and a low oil light, but they don't help when topping off the oil. When refilling, pour VERY slowly, or you're going to get oil everywhere; you can't see it, and then it's FULL. Unlike every KTM I've been around, the oil tank cap never leaked a drop. If yours leaks, it's because you spilled while filling it (very easy to do), and the "leak" is residual from that spill. The tank's place- ment is unique and unobtrusive while riding, but removing the gas tank is a pain because the oil tank has to come out, too. That involves removing the oil line, trying not to spill it everywhere, and then re-bleeding the line a er everything is reinstalled. It is quite easy to bleed the oil lines, though. The oil tank placement will also cause a headache for the a ermarket. Addi onal Items: Handguards: It's nice that the Fan c came with hand- guards. I am used to running lightweight, flexible, flag-style handguards, so these worked perfectly for me. I would, however, drill a second hole in the white plas c and add another bolt (there's already a second hole in the bracket) to keep the handguard from rotat- ing in heavy brush. If you are used to wraparound or something stout like SXS or the stock KTM XC hand- guards, you'll want to replace them. Kickstand: It's the same unit that comes on the YZ250X and the WRs, so it's not quite as nice as a stock KTM kickstand, but it's nicer than anything else. It comes with the auto-retract bolt pre-installed, but your dealer's goodie bag includes another bolt and tension plate to convert it to the US-style, where it stays down when you kick it down. It's nice that Fan c added the li le rubber-band retainer; the Yamahas don't have one. Skid plate: An Acerbis plas c skid plate for general enduro use. Perfectly suitable for trail riding, enduros, hare scrambles, etc. You'll want to update it to HDPE for Hard Enduro abuse.
