I would suggest just top up very slightly more and get the z900 instead. That bike have superb value for money. The zx25r has traction control but with the limited torque output in that bike, honestly it isn't necessary laugh.gif

If only the Cb650r has stock then can try that as well but the riding position is slightly sporty.

My Katana actually makes for a really nice daily commute bike because of the santai riding position, but you'll get pissed off keep having to refuel so often laugh.gif

just ditch the qjmotor tbh, finding secondhand z900 is the best choice with your budget currently

dont fall for the brembo sweets they put on the qjmotor, nissin brake is just as good for our road  laugh.gif

also the srk600rc is pretty disappointing for a sportbike, too heavy at 225kg and not even 100hp
they just slap the same engine from srk600 and put on a different coverset
I found that adding handlebar riser for sporty-naked bike like z250, gsx-s750 can improve the riding position to be more upright
Doesn't even need much to add, just about 1 inch of height and it feels like a different bike

I see handlebar risers are a super common accessory installed for Cb650r owners but might need to get creative on the cable routing.

how often you need to refuel?
mine with a 17l tank is about every 3 days
*
I refuel usually once a week, but my daily commute is only 20km per day excluding my trip for lunch which varies

QUOTE(xnobys @ Aug 25 2023, 03:38 PM)
Correction: 12l  tongue.gif

This is the major drawback for Katana.
*
The max I've fueled up is 11.2L, the bike got a fuel gauge, distance to empty and 2 levels of low fuel warning laugh.gif

like this, long distance riding on this bike susah lah

Long distance also sure will stop and have a break ma, just refuel at everytime you take a break lor laugh.gif

Hell I dont think 13L is even enough for my single cyc 373cc bike....how the hell did Suzuki think is that enough for a litre bike?
*
How many km you get from it?

QUOTE(alexei @ Aug 25 2023, 04:31 PM)
Some liter bikes only get 200km per tank even with 17L capacity because it will light up at 14L with 3L reserve, while some easily 300km. Not sure how's the Katana with that tank size.
*
200km for 17L, must be riding pretty hardcore laugh.gif

I get around 170km per tank for normal commute riding.

If I'm not wrong Only the last batch of z800 have abs.

Z800 is heavy, 230kg++  and it's top heavy.  Difficult to ride as a street bike.

Damn didn't know it's 230+kg, damn heavy sial

On my dominar, the low fuel light comes on early with about 2.5-3L of fuel remaining, so for my usual fill up is 20rm or about 9.6L (published tank size is 13L)

At speed about 160-170km@10L (130-140kmh cruising with some "Italian tune up" bursts up to 160) highway
Taken at a more pedestrian pace, 220km@10L

Highway at speed is a bit annoying though. I can't make it back to Ipoh from KL without the fuel light flashing after tapah. I can certainly do a 2 hour ride without stopping if not for the range anxiety once the fuel warning lights up.

Now I just do 110-120 just to make it back without stopping for fuel. Factor in time spent fueling up, there is no time saving by going faster.

That said, I was hoping the Dominar was a bit more frugal on fuel though, given it's a single cyc.

Surprised it's that bad, what you're saying is that it's around 16-17km/l if you're doing high speed cruising and 22km/l when riding conservatively. My Katana I get around 15-16km/l when ridden harder and 17-18km/l when riding conservatively. Considering I have 3 extra cylinders and more than double the cc, the dominar fc is kinda bad. I think the cb500x trumps it?

What app is that

Fuelio

errr...not standard meh?

i get around that on mix riding... if tamer riding mebbe can get 230km before it blinks
*
When blinks mean refuel how many liters? I was under the impression 230km and refuel 17L which gives a fuel efficiency of 13.3km/l which is pretty horrible laugh.gif

Anyway, lari topic damn kao from the main topic already hahaha
