(5 bars for 3 gallons). I haven't done any testing but it seems the first and indicators go off faster than the last 2.
That's amazing gas milage. I'm getting around 46 mpg two up riding.
I think one of my first posts here was a complaint about the stupid fuel gauge or led bars. In a perfect world it would work as you say, drop 1 bar as each 1/5 of the fuel is consumed, but it doesn't. By 80 miles I am down to 2 bars. Goes to 1 around 106 and then starts flashing between 136 and now 146. I believe you could go 40 miles on flashing reserve. Last night I went 25 and it still in theory had over 1/2 gallon left. To me "in theory" I could have gone 50 miles on flashing reserve, but I hate pushing 500 pound motorcycles.
I have been riding solo so that helps with the mileage as does he fact that I ride fairly easily..by that I mean speed limit + - 5 mph with an occasional burst when I pass someone even slower than me ha ha
