Speaking of the Reserve (Read 8 times)

SeattleSavage Ex Member	Speaking of the Reserve 04/24/06 at 19:32:36 Has anyone noted how far the reserve will get you? (hopefully not) I've had to switch it there a couple of times in the last week or so. I've been near by a station so it hasn't been a problem. I haven't done a search yet, so maybe I'll do that now.

I know I've put 20 on reserve, and that was cutting it pretty close I thought.

I ride the interstate mostly at 70 or so and it seems that my bike gets about 46 miles per gallon. Alot better than the 12 my truck gets

According to the manual, the entire gas tank including the reserve holds 10.5 litres, 2.8 US gallons, or 2.3 Imp. gallons.

The reserve portion holds 2.5 litres, 0.6 US gals., or 0.5 Imperial gals.

So, the reserve should be needed after you have used up 8 litres, 2.2 US gals., or 1.8 Imperial gals. of fuel.

I have found that once I switch to reserve, I can drive a bit more before finding a gas station at a decent price(lol).

There are none with good prices.
