I know the fuel gauge has been beaten to death in the forum. I did some searching and I see most of the focus is on the move from 2 bars to flashing to tell you to get gas. Also that the fuel gauge drops rapidly.
So yesterday I fueled up and ran some errands and waited and watched to see when the first bar would disappear. All of my riding was in town and on some 2 lane highway. Kept speeds down so I know that will affect how much fuel is being burned and when the gauge will drop. But this gauge is apparently very nonlinear and I went quite a ways before the first bar finally disappeared. Which tells me that the subsequent bars will vanish much much faster.
So how far can you typically ride before the first bar disappears on your gas gauge? I am just trying to get an idea of what is "normal" for others and maybe and idea of what your typical MPG is for your bike? Thanks!
