My new-to-me 2014 started flashing the gas gauge to indicate reserve.
I had 110 miles on the odometer since the last fill up. When I filled it again, it only took 2.7 gallons.
With a 3.9 gallon tank, 1.2 gallons is nearly a third of a tank!
I've also noticed that the gauge reads full after a fill-up, but after only 30 miles or so, it will read half a tank.
Apparently this is a common issue for this bike.
My 2014 has been getting 40 mpg, which is worse than I expected, but she seems to be running well, and at least it's consistent.
I will address the mpg issue separately, but I wanted to see how many others have this extremely "generous" reserve tank!
