Fuel Gauge accurate?

Not had mine long done about 200 miles so far, though seem to have filled it up a few times already lol. Last time I was down to the last bar with 'E' on it not flashing and got 11 litres in, so about 3 left. When it starts flashing I think is next stage how much am i likely to have left then?

According manual you get 3,2 liters for reserrve..
When it statrs flashing you'll have enough gas for 40km(28mil) at least in economy "drive-mode"..

Thanks yea last time I filled up before it started flashing even, must of had near 4 litres left. I set trip to last time and have done about 80 miles lol before im on the last 'E' block.

I seem to get around 130 miles from a tankful before me bottle goes an I fill up.
Need to strap a can of petrol to the back and run it dry to find the true range

U can safely clock up 20-25 miles on the F-Trip before u need to fill up and u will probably only squeeze in 13Ltrs if u keep brimming it.

I see so when it gets real low it starts to count down miles? It does require it be done quite slow to fill it right up with out shooting it everywhere!!

I managed 36.1 miles on the F trip by driving within the limits and keeping acceleration down to the same pace as other vehicles,
but that figure was obtained in very light traffic. Having done the filler neck mod, I managed to brim the tank using more than 14 litres.
Each bike will vary but it's not a bad thing to know at which point you're likely to start pushing.

most I've done on reserve is 20 miles and took 13.88 litres to fill so wasn't a lot left in the tank

Details found on posts #77 and #80 , not that I could recommend any procedure involving dangerous petrol fumes.

I don't like pushing... I've managed 150+ when running in.... But did go from brum to Llandrindod Wells, had a burger and a cuppa, then up to Shrewsbury, then back to brum via bridgenorth....

It just started flashing when I pulled into driveway....

Haven't dun that since.....
