Fuel Reserve??

[SanPete_imp]

I have been wanting to run out of gas on the CB for a long time, just can't master the bravery to do it.

Me too, SanPete. I might wait until it's really low one day, strap a few liters in a can on the bike and ride till it conks. The most I've done is about 230 kms. I suspect I could get 250 kms or a tiny bit more.

Man, I don't get anywhere near that-probably more like 125 miles per tank. This is my #1 complaint about the bike. I do like to hot dog it quite a bit so it is probably my own fault...

Pretty low miles, maybe 1300 or so....

Pretty low miles, maybe 1300 or so.... At that milage I was getting 43 mpg, at 8k I am getting 55 mpg. Milage does get better as you put more miles in the engine. To be fair these numbers were at the rally with an average speed of 45 mph and hardly any stop and go.

I'd never get 209 miles (better than 300 kms) in a fit. Curious really cause I don't ride that hard at all.

This is just speculation according to fuel capacity in the tank. The highest I have reached is 186 miles to a tank.
