my 08 switches to miles to empty when the light comes on, usually about 30. It has been pretty acurate.

No clue I have not run it until that feature comes on. Not sure I want to trust it yet. I trust the advice you guys are giving me more because you have more experience with a Harley than I.

This is my third bike but first Harley.

It will tell you at any point how many miles you have left in the tank. Push the dash button and cycle through clock, odometer, and then miles left will be the # with an r

That's correct. Not perfectly accurate but once you know your mileage it's easy to do the math.

Sweet found it says R54. Missed that part in my owners manual and figured the dealer might have said something to me about it but guess not.

Thx

That was the first thing that came to my mind as well.


R 54....so you have approx. 54 miles worth of fuel left in the tank. Thats what I go by. Easy to use. Easy to follow. No reason to run dry.
