Yep just checked and showing a good 60mpg well pleased fuel light came on and I topped her with 5.99ltrs
How much should I have had left in the tank

Driving home would be 30miles but the fuel light put me off trying without filling up

 

When it starts spitting and sputtering,..I'd say you have about 2 miles to go. I haven't pushed it so far that I ran out of fuel but have rolled into the gas station on fumes.

 

Proberly didn't word the last post rightly

If my tank has 2.7 uk gallons and I use 5.99 litres when the light comes on should I have
6.1 litres left ?

If so why is the light coming on when less than 1/2 full

 

so you go get gas... ever push a bike up a hill or a highway?

 

My 03 883R. It will have to be pried from my cold dead hands. SE intake and SE II mufflers with the carb jetted just right for them. A very good runner.

 

I have a 2016 Iron 883 and usually get at least 90-100 miles till the light comes on then I always fill up with about 2.0-2.2 Gallons...

The most I rode with the light on was 105 miles total after filling up and not sure if I felt her sputtering or it was just me worried about the running out of gas.

 

I just converted my 2016 Iron to a 1200, replaced the diaphragm spring but noticed little to no difference pulling in the clutch handle. Pretty pleased with how it all turned out.

 

I will never part with my '02 883R

 

That is one pretty bike. That's one of the main reasons I love my Sporty. I consider it rolling art work for the eyes and the ears. On top of that it's more fun than a barrel of monkeys to ride.

 

Do you have the original Pipe?
