OK, we discussed how far we get before we hit reserve, now let's see how far we can get ON reserve?

I started sputtering today on the way home, right at 98 miles on this tank.  Since I was in the home area, I decided to take the long way to my favorite gas station.  I also knew that if I ran out on the way, my long suffefing wife (36 years so far!) would be able to grab the 1 gallon can and bring me some.

I made it to the station, about 17 1/4 miles, without running out.  But it made me think about how much further I could have gone.  

So, how far can you get on your reserve?

Okay, so regardlrss of thr MPG, how much gas is still left in the tank when we have to switch to reserve??

I always fill the tank up as much as possible, without it leaking out. I rode 120 miles and had to switch to reserve then rode another 5 miles to the gas station. I put 2.3 gallons in the tank. 2.2 gallons before hitting reserve is about right. I know that is what the owner's manual states.

This whole reserve setup seems a bit annoying.. The bike starts to stall out and that's what tells u it needs gas.  Then flip a switch and go get gas...  Wouldn't a gas light suffice with no reserve???   Anyone know of a way to put a low gas light on a bike??

The one time I had to put on reserve and go any distance before gas station, I got about 20 miles. Their was a lil gas left in the tank yet not much..

I try and fill up every 100 miles and then no worries..
