Hi Chris,

Doing a bit of CSE Maths a 91/2 / Sport should go 180 miles ((21/17)*120+30) assuming same consumption as the Corsaro.

Thanks for the info.

Regards,

Mike.

Hi Paul, A check would be good, thanks. The range is the only thing stopping me at present. It would not be so important if I had the bike solely for thrashes around the Dales, but I also use it to go 'down souf' for work so early starts are called for. I like my bed, so I would object to getting up...

Hi, The original question included a request for tank range. It would appear that it is too embarrasing to quote a full to empty range! :? 21 litres - 180 miles with a little to spare would be good advice that would make me consider a purchase. I take it as a given that the bike is fun. I do not wan...

Hello everybody, Thanks for the responses. The 'reliability' question hasn't been raised so assume these motors are bulletproof like the old 31/2 - rev the nuts off the thing and change the oil regularly! Would be interested in the tank mileage, I get about 170 before the fuel light comes on with an...

Reliability, Suitability?

Hi, I have a 20 year old Beemer that is just fantastic for reliabilty, part quality, comfort and economy but would like something more modern that goes around corners and is excellent on motorways. A 200 mile (320km) range is also required as I hate having to stop when doing long journeys. I have be...

Hi, Thanks for the rapid responses. This is a good forum, enjoying the Gran Passo and Corsaro posts at the moment. I think I can live without the fuel warning light and the oil level light. Would like to get the oil temp. gauge working though. I have had a look on t'internet and seen a few promising...

Hi, Am in the North Yorkshire not far from A1. I am busy the weekend of the 14th, which is a shame as a nice ride to Edinburgh would have gone down a treat. If anybody is passing in a van and wants to pick it up, quite welcome to borrow it, just remember to give it back again! :D thanks, regards, Mi...

Rebuild help - bothways!

Hi, I have done a partial rebuild on a Dart and have made a couple of discoveries which most of you probably already know. I am also stumped by a couple of things. Parts sourced and suppliers used - 1. Front Disc. http://www.grimeca.it/en/?id=10&brand=CAGIVA&code=DS175FTA - check disk specif...

Hi, Recently rejoined after a loooonnnng gap for child raising duties. Got a Dart and a Beemer (don't hold that against me, it is a good quality triple, but may go if the Dart lives up to expectations). MOTd today but engine tuning to sort. Looking forward to some dry roads (about April at this rate...
