I did it on the side stand, so maybe not correct for normal riding.
Anyway, I measured 42 fluid OZ which will give me about 21 miles ridden a bit conservatively. I am going to try running it dry one of these days whilst carrying a 20 OZ container of gas.
I measured the amount with the bike level....and there was 60 oz. of reserve when using the Raptor petcock. Since there is 64 oz. in a half gallon.....you are going to be able to go about 25 miles on reserve if you get 50 mpg. Chances are you will be riding slowly and smoothly after you switch that lever to RES....so I suspect you may be able to stretch it to 30 miles before you start walking! (Obviously strong headwinds and steep hills could influence your mileage).
When you are riding in unfamiliar remote areas....it definitely is a good idea to carry some extra fuel.
