Just bought my 954 this week, so I don't know everything about it yet. I'm used to having a fuel shutoff valve (well, at least a "reserve", do the 954's have one? I looked briefly but didn't see one. How do you know when you are low on fuel, just the odometer? How many mile can you normally get on a tank? Is there a low fuel light?

Thanks!

 

No there Is not a reserve and the only way you know yourlow on fuel is the yellow light that will come in in the tach. fuel pump shut off is your right handlebar switch miles to the gallon all depends on how you ride.

 

good input outlaw.

 

Ok, how much is normally left in the tank when the yellow light comes on? I assume by fuel pump cutoff switch you mean the kill switch?

I know mileage all depends how you ride, but what's a low/high mileage per tank?

Also, I assume you have to run premium fuel? I didn't get a book or anything with the bike as you can tell...

 

I run premium. I get around 120 miles till the light comes on. If I'm rollin on the highway it pushes up to 140/150...

 

You do not have to run premium.

I am with nikos on milage, i believe you have approx 1 gallon left when the light comes on.

 

I average about 150-160 miles to a tank. Unless I really abuse her, and then she'll give me 110-120.

Found the specs for the fuel tank. There is a 0.9 gallon reserve when the light comes on.

I get better gas mileage with 87 oct. than with the premium.I average 170 miles per tank with the 87 and about 150 with the premium,all highway miles.Alot less when I open it up.

 

^ that is strange, ill have to try out 87 sometime.

just to add my .02, i typically ride a mix between highway and city and get about 130-140 consistently before the light comes on. that with a -1 front sprocket, which makes it read slightly more miles than what have actually been covered i believe, can anyone second that?

 

Yeah it is strange but true.I heard on this forum someplace about how our bikes are designed to use 87.I had always used supreme until recently when I had to commute and tried it out.I have -1 +2 sprockets with the speedo healer installed and thats what I came up with.
