I found out today that I hit reserve on the 2k Heritage at 157.7 miles. This was a combination of highway and around town. Filled up with 4.06 gallons in my 5 gallon tank. So reserve is about a gallon or 38 miles or so in my case. Just wondering if others have had similar results??? Also got to pay almost $5 a gallon!
I hold 5 gallons, I get about 120 miles and I am in the Red, Takes about 3 gallons to fill it up so I guess when the gas light comes on I got 2 gallons at best, with fuel injection I have no fuel valve for reserve.
I really don't like the fuel gauge system I have, it is not accurate at all.

Then you should count miles and not rely on that POS gas gauge.
i fill up at 180-190 miles. it can be a half gallon to a gallon left at that mileage depending on my right hand. can stretch to 210 ish if i strictly ride the highway.
