Speaking of the Reserve

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.

Assuming a 50mpg for the Savage...it should get you about 30 miles before running dry. I know I've put 20 on reserve, and that was cutting it pretty close I thought.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid in broadside, used-up, worn out, and defiantly shouting 'Geronimo!!!'

I've went 24 on mine and was getting very nervous. 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).

I count on mine for 20 miles figuring I could probably eek out another couple if needed but I start looking for the first gas pump available. There are none with good prices.
