RE: Miles Per gallon?
 

i had no idea all 4 bars start blinking... i thought once the indicator showed up, you were on your reserve and the bars represented how much off your reserve is left. i always filled up at 140 miles (before the indicator shows up)

Same here

Guess I'll have to read the owner's manual to double check it (out of curiousity)

RE: Miles Per gallon?
 

this exact topic cam up a couple of weeks ago. tank holds 4.8g, reserve indicates .9g I think it was.

most poeple thought once the bars came on you were on reserve, but it didnt make sense, becuase that day, I had the bars come on and had only ridden like 120m, and
still had lots o gas. I ran for about 30 miles until all 4 bars were flashing, (and I was in a sweat-thought I was out of juice). finally found a gas station, but only put like 3.8g in the tank.?? Thus, it is true, flashing bars mean start looking for a good place to get gas, you got plenty of time, but be aware. When all 4 bars start flashing, you are below a gallon of gas, and need to find a station NOW.

thats good to know, I have had 3 bars flashing before and thought I was going to be pushing it for a long way...lol...other than that I fill up as soon as the 4 bars show up

So hold up.....I didn't get a chance to check my manual yet (at my parent's with the bike).....

So all4 bars will light up and then they go down one by one, and then they all come back and then they start flashing???

OR once the first one goes away they start flashing or what???

I mean I really don't care, I just never noticed how it worked

You ever seen that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer sees how far he can drive the new car
on empty??

but all 4 bars come on, then start flashing one by one. when you get down to the last one flashing, you have just under a gallon........ I think
