Hey Guys,
I have an '06 Dyna and just wondering if anyone know how far you can go once the fuel light comes on...Thanks

 

To the next gas station. Haha

I think somewhere between 40-60 miles. Haven't pushed it far enough to find out. Mine will go 40 highway miles for sure though.

 

Supposedly you have 1 gallon left but best to stop for the nearest station possible!

 

It's not really a "reserve" as in a carb bike, more of a warning that you are down to .9 or 1 gallon of fuel. When you are out, you are out. Personally I would go any further than 39 miles.

 

Don't put a lot of trust in that idiot light. Stop at your first opportunity and fill up.

 

The light on my '07 comes on when I still have 2 gallons left. The only thing you can safely rely on is your trip odometer.

 

I have the HD led Guage and since it crapped out on me after a couple months old, I have disconnected it.

Always reset your odometer and know how many miles your bike can go between fill ups.

I personally start to look for gas at 150 miles...then usually can get about 3.5 gallons in the tank.

 

Here's how to find out on your bike specifically: reset your trip meter when you fill up. Ride your scoot. As soon as your low fuel light comes on, fill up your tank. Divide the miles on your trip meter by the gallons of gas it took to refill your tank. This is YOUR miles per gallon. Subtract the volume of gas you just purchased from your tank size. This number is how much gas was remaining in the tank when your light came on. Multiply that by your miles per gallon, and that is your answer. Is your head spinning?

 

Between 0 and 50 miles....

Your mileage may vary

 

Why would anyone's head spin about that?
Everyone who drives a car should be able to figure out their MPG!
