I have got 148 on my 3.3 gallon tank before going to reserve then I have also had 132, depends on brand of gas type of riding who knows....I always try to fill up at around 120 miles usually costs me about 6 bucks ....works for me

The sudden cut out when you run out of gas isalso a consequence of running with a single carb. Bikes I've owned (& run out of gas on) in the past with twin or multiple carbs spit & fart about for a good few seconds before dying completely & give you more chance to switch onto reserve, I suppose the gas remaining in the float bowls or fuel supply to the different carbs must be exhausted at slightly different rates.[/align]

 

I thought it would be obvious, by mentioning that I was 10 miles from empty, that I WAS using the tripmeter. I always do. Oh and the gas station is at the top of said hill!

 

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny; how could you run out of gas with such a big tank?[:@][][:'(][:-][&o] None of the rest of us would allow such a thing to happen; ain't that right fellas?

 

I started me bike one day to pull it out of the shed.It ran 5 seconds and died.I switched to reserve and it fired right up.At least I made it home before going on reserve.

 

wah

 

now thats funny chit there, made my night

 

Yeah I was gonna say... AllI have ever had on a sportster was a peanut tank... I wouldnt know what to do with one of those big tanks... now just imagine 3.3 on a V-Rod I am gonna wear the hinges off on the seat

 

dang, thats great mileage. Mine must run a bit rich, I gotta get gas at 100 miles on my 1200R. A few miles past 100 and I'm sure to be on reserve. Darn little peanut tank looks great but doesn't hold a darn!
