Default Gas Mileage

Does anybody know how many miles the 05 600rr per a gas tank because I usually fill up when Im at the last bar which is like 85-100 miles, and is there a reserve tank? And what happens when you go past the last bar?

I think after the last bar, either the last bar starts blinking or something else near the lowerpart of the fuel gage starts blinking, I'm taking it you don't have an owners manual? It tells you in there, but I'm otta state right now and don't have mine with me to tell you for sure. I remember it stating that when the light/bar starts blinking, you have approx 1 gallon of fuel left.I'm averaging around 120 when I get on my last bar, and I don't really ride hard, meaning I rarely go above 7,000 rpm and mainly do city driving. HTH

wow, since the information has been provided to you just do the math or ask how many miles per gallon does the rr do. you are beating around the bush, wouldnt you say?
160 miles on 4.8gals = 33.3 mpg
this is some complex crap right here!

What reserve? 600RRs don't have reserve tanks.

Everyone's gonna get different mileage per tank depending on how they ride. When you go past the last bar you run out of gas and will have to refill it. Seriously, is this rocket science? [8D]

you seem to be getting pretty low milage, Most of us get at least 120 before the last bar, even riding pretty hard.

Factors to consider: tire pressure (this one is KIND of important)
riding style
your wieght, If you are on the heavy side, you will get less gas milage.
air filter and gas filter, spark plugs (old worn out components get less gas milage too)

Yeah, 120 definately seems low...I'm with "everyone" else, I get around 130 before I get to the last bar, hell, I never let the last bar blink, as soon as I see that it's on that last bar, I'll start looking for a gas station...and my bike has a bunch of mods too. If something ever does happen, I'm a member of the HRCA and soon to be AMA<already sent my payment in, just waiting on my card and stuff, anyways...I know that the AMA charges extra for "roadside assistance" and the HRCA might be the same way, I don't know though because I always get my HRCA renewed every year for free...both are great clubs to belong to and both are definately worth the money! Maybe you ought to look into those memberships, oh, and a word of advice, once you see the last bar all by its lonesome, start heading towards a gas station. I always reset my trip odometer at each fill-up. Keep a record and if you start noticing any changes in mileage, etc., then you know that you should check your bike out (air filter, oil change, the PSI in your tires, make sure your chain is lubed good, and so on...). Good luck on everything!
