Reserve with Raptor petcock
06/01/15 at 15:41:00
Installed Raptor, filled tank and have been using the bike for several commutes (all on "fuel" setting). This afternoon I refilled the tank using 2.3 gallons and I have yet to turn it to "Reserve"... Anyone have any quotes on actual amount of fuel remaining for "Reserve" with the Raptor petcock ????? (NO JOG, I did NOT over flow the tank..)

It's around here somewhere... let me look through Serowbot's rollodex of Tech section links... Upgrades... Broken Links... Exhaust... AHA! Petcock! And in there: Petcock reserve capacity!

The accepted amount is 40 oz, but that includes difficult to feed (read: unreliable for riding) fuel. For most of us, this does translate to approx. 20-25 miles. YMMV, and if you've raised the rear of the tank at all the capacity will be different.

I guess that means I'm no good anymore; I've got 4 more cylinders! '08 Yamaha FJR1300 and still '01 Savage

Thank You gentlemen... It looks like the last couple of lefts I took just before I pulled into the gas station were what kept me from getting into "reserve"...... There are some interesting roads around here, but there can be a long way between gas stations.

The standard approach to this issue with the "experienced" - is to plan on getting fuel every 100 miles.....or at a minimum start looking for a place to get fuel when you are approaching 100 miles. This helps to account for the fact that some areas have a considerable distance between places you can buy fuel. Using a luggage lock attached to the bike to record the mileage when you will next need gas....or writing on the mirror or speedometer glass with a grease pencil.
If you have a saddlebag or fork bag....several members have a metal pint/quart can with an emergency ration of fresh fuel stored in the bag.
