Default ran out of gas..but only filled up 3.9 gallons after?

I don't get how that happens, I felt the bike run out of gas and pulled the clutch in, shifted to N, shut the bike off and rolled all the way to a gas station!! when i put gas in it, i could only put 3.9 gallons in, what gives! wheres my extra .6 hiding??

isnt the .6 for the "reserve" or do you mean you ran out of gas even on the "res" setting ?

fill it up untill it starts to over flow .. which is why there is that hose connected that lets the excess gas spill out under your bike lol... then you will never doubt just how full it is

Most gas tanks hold a smidgen more than even the reserve can suck out.
