Reserve? nc700s

[treybrad]

I've run out twice. I fuel up over the baffle plate as high as I can without it spilling and I got 3.660 and 3.661.

My trip to work is about 62 miles, so I fill up every other night at 186. Like clock work. Yet, unlike clock work, my POS gauge is different every time. Lol

Do you have a centerstand? Maybe you can squeeze in an extra .04 gallons with it level vs. on the the sidestand if that's how you're filling it? Or maybe you have found a pump that actually reads a little less than actual output.... that'd be a nice surprise!

Haha, two diff pumps when I've run out.

No center stand yet, but I did stand the bike upright sitting on it backwards to fill once (yes I felt dumb, but in the interest of science... Lol) and the second time I leaning the bike upright with my hip.

Hey Joe. while reading your reply to N97972, I noticed you referred to Star Wars. My name, Mandalorian , is from Clone Wars. A Mandalorian is a bounty hunter trained on the planet Mandalore. Sorry to go off of the NC thread. But my weenie side jumped out.

Personally I wouldn't trust the fuel gauge. When you get to 2 bars you're far better of just refuelling in order to stop yourself having an unpleasant surprise one day by running of motion lotion.....

Agree.usually at 50 miles i lose my first bar.yesterday i lost it at 65 miles.i go to 150 miles then gas up.

The answer to that question is "Depends". It depends on how I have been driving. I carry extra gas with me on purpose, so I run out of gas on purpose regularly. If I am in a normal driving mode I get about 45 miles from flashing to empty. I have gotten as much as 58 miles and the least is 35 miles.

When are you going to Alaska? I'm going on July 9th. Coming from Houston, Texas. Plan to swing by Sturgis on the way back ( August 8th).
