RE: Reserve light question
ORIGINAL: DeputyMike
....Okay, I guess that was my real question...So when the display hits ZERO, will the bike run out of gas, or do I really have a gallon of gas left in there?? Or is the 6.1 gallon capacity b.s.???

+1 - Three times, down below ten miles left on the display, 5, maybe 5.1 gal of fuel in a 6 gal tank.

I guess I am somewhat surprised...The few times I have gotten down to a dozen or so miles on the display, I couldn't even get five gallons in the tank!

Sounds like it holds a gallon in reserve and counts down to when it starts using that gallon.

RE: Reserve light question
Ran 182 yesterday and the r showed 42. I drove a few miles and it showed 43. A few more and it showed 46. By the time I got to the gas station the light was on and the tank was full...
Justkidding. Actually the bike only took 4.5 gallons so the moral of the story is... What's really up? My LED flush guage showed 1 blue dot, and i think i could have gone another 80+ miles. I average about 40 per gallon. So I'll weigh in with this if anyone still cares.... "I think it's r miles till you hit reserve, then you have about a gallon remaining.
