When i see reserve, i fill

I work in kilos and litres, but here's my story:

Ave: 300 kilos per tank.
From empty to full: usually round 15 litres
Ave: 20km/l
Fazer tank = 19.4l
ergo 4 litres in reserve
equals 80km

peace

Yeah, but it was Nazri's first post...
I think what Humps was trying to say is that there is an awesome search pulldown tool that you can use to determine if a question or topic has been covered before. :thumbup:

yesterday..since mine blinking..i filled up full tank..reach 16.6liter...meter indicate 10km(distance travel using reserve) ...mean my reserve at that time is 19.4-16.6=2.8 liter....its equal to 56km....

56+10= 66km

FZ6 may run up to 66km since warning sign blinking...is'n it...

I am not sure how accurate is the fuel indicator,i top up 15l of fuel when the fuel indicator started flashing(2008) instead of the stated 15.8L.I would suggest use your mileage as an estimation and don't push your luck too far out.:BLAA:

Since I don't recall responding to any of the other threads, I'll toss my 2cp in from experience. I'm going to be lazy and neglect to convert to km's tho. I beg your pardon in advance.

The other day I stretched my reserve a bit too far. 38 miles and some odd tenths on reserve she started sputtering on me so I hit the kill switch and pushed her a couple hundred yards to the station. Sadly, no one even honked at me. To add a lil insult to injury, I got it all on video as well. Once I find a way to edit the video or break down and buy QuickTime Pro, I'll throw it up on YouTube for you all to laugh at and enjoy

I never let my bike get more than 45km's on reserve....i have run out of juice at 60km on reserve....

I run the bike on reserve all the time, for commuting....i like the bike when it is "light".....20 litres of petrol makes a big difference in how the bike handles!

:thumbup:

 

[yoshiki]

i got mine until about 53km into reserve.

This is where we have the advantage, we only have to put 3 or 4 gallons in, way smaller number than 20.

Personally I've run it up to 24km riding through mountains before I found a gas station. Clearly she had more to give, but that was the last time I'd seen a gas station was 64km earlier and I was starting to get a little nervous.

You guys and your silly metric system....lol

I can get about 130-150 miles before reserve kicks on then its either time to fill up or pray I can get to one within 20-30 miles!

Lol, it's called the modern world..... Get out of the dark ages

I get about 400 furlongs/gallon, so I try not to ride further than say 200 furlongs after the reserve trip meter kicks on.

I have tested my 2008 Fazer in town, and wan't do more than 60 km when the reserve dashboard signal goes on.

 

[Humperdinkel]

My absolute best fuel figures were 392k's on 18.34 litres , or 89k's on reserve fuel Mind you i was specifically riding for economy :thumbup:

:thumbup:

Thats like a 44.1lb(ish) difference while running in the reserve. That would make a pretty big difference in handling. :thumbup:

I have run my '05 FZ6 to 43kms in the reserve. Then I chickened out and filled her. I have had to push my bike home with a bad battery before, and it wasn't fun... I don't want to have to do it again for fuel, lol.

Finally a post in MILES :rockon:

I get about the same here

 

[nedburt]

252 miles on 4.8 gallons. The last 40 miles were ridden at 35-40mph

Tell me about it, way more accurate than our crappy old standard units. Wish we would change it here in America.

I went 50km after my blinking reserve, I rode conservatively though.
