No reserve on a Raptor? i don't have one, but i'm almost positive i've heard people on the forum say they have a smaller reserve, so it should still be there.

I have noticed that I'm not hitting reserve as early as I was (used to fill at 100 miles almost exactly) now I'm at 115 miles and still haven't hit reserve...of course that means I can't go as far on reserve but I can live with that. Now a 3-4 gallon tank would be nice....

Here's some good news. I've got a 4.8gallon tank on my savage. At approximately 3.9 gallons I switch to reserve. This give me another 50 miles before it should go dry. The tank is from a 1981 Suzuki GL750. Need any more information let me know.

That is a lot of room for fuel, but I'm not sure I would be able to make use of it. I already have more gas capacity than A$$ capacity! Grin

My butt gets sore and my back gets stiff at around 90-100 miles anyway(yeah, I know, I should be better, but I'm not), so the requirement to fill up matches my need to strech out and walk around a little.
