Well, at least we know the tank will actually hold six gallons. Were you holding it level while filling?

 

Yes, I was and shook the bike around a bit. The fuel level was just below the start (or end) of the threads for the cap inside the tank.

 

[QUOTE=oakmossy;12614440]I think your low fuel record with stand for a while.





I THINK THE RECORD HAS BEEN BROKEN!!






YB





DISCAIMER: NO, This is not a normal practice, I left my house with with like 11 miles left after riding the day before all day long, and KNOWING that I had 11 miles left, I would get gas in the morning. The gas station is only 3 miles away from my house, but When I got there it was on low!!!!!
I originally posted this 2 years ago for everyone to know how much the 6 gallon tank actually held.

 

I've come close to running on what I would consider vapors, and have yet to squeeze six gallons in on my 2013 SG. LOL

 

Or the pump station is cheating. Trust me ,,,some of them do. But that's back in the 90's ,,....my old Job is to check stations .

 

 

And the option to find a nice tree or bush instead of having to wait until the next gas station or rest area!

 

Never run my tank to empty, i am into riding not walking. Out west, stations are not as close together as back east.

I usually stop between 125 and 150 miles. Need to take a break and never worry about fuel. If needed i can go longer but why chance it?

Been on enough rides where im pushing, its the middle of nowhere and the middle of the night looking for a random station where the pumps are on to get fuel.

 

I have run low, got the warnings, went on, filled up - never held over 5.5 gal.
I was beginning to wonder if anybody had put 6 in their tank.
That's cool, I'll try not to push 5.5 again...

 

BTW, you left out where you put your gas cap...
