Default Fuel gauge?

Why does the 954 not have any type of fuel gauge? This is bugging me. How many wiles are you guys getting out of a tank of gas?

Hmm - I would have to say I never knew that. I've got a 929 but I can't imagine a 54 doesn't have a fuel gauge. Hell, they had them on the F4's.

I'm gonna poke around see what me finds.

Yes it does.

It's just to the left of the "13,000 RPM" indicator. Should flash a bright yellow, solid light, then go out after maybea minute.

If yours isn't working maybe start checking fuses.

However, I can't imagine you own a 954 and didn't see that little fuel lofo and light before...

What gives? Not a 954 cluster? Aftermarket? Was it a racebike before?

I've never seen the light come on before so I guess I just never noticed it. It's supposed to come on when i'm in reserve, yes?

Yeah, it's a low fuel indicator, not a reserve, per say.

As far as MPG's go, I'm afraid I can't help you just yet. I only put a gallon in at a time and just fill when I need to - that way I never get stuck with a full tank of high-octane to sit overnight.

Surely someone else will eventually make their way here.

By the way, you seriously never saw the indicator logo? How long you had your bike?

Why would you be worried about your tank being full overnight? That's just wierd.

Well not to get into a whole fuel thing here but...

Octane in fuel is reduced over time due to temperature and atmospheric conditions. In a given night, your fuel could be reduced even 2 or 3 octane ratings. If your bike is in a heated environment, it could drop even more.

I just don't like the gas prices right now and this is my way of getting the most bang for my buck. If gas prices were more trivial, it wouldn't bother me but still the higher octane is best for the injectors so I'd always be mindful.

Where on earth did you hear that nonsense?

Well it's your thread...

It's not nonsense. It's science. If you'd like to discuss it, I'm open but I'm not taking to cynism well lately.

Do some research on what I said and if you'd like to discuss it further I'd be more than happy to oblidge.
