Fuel range is a funny thing. It's not as much as, how far can you can go on a tank full. It's more the case of how much you have in the tank. Me I start looking when I get down to half a tank. By the time I've found a place, I'm usually down to a quarter. A good bit of advice is to find out how much fuel you have in the tank against what the gauge show's. Most bike's will show more in the bottom half than in the top half. I know that when I switch over on to my reserve I have about 35 mile's left. Get a small can of petrol and carry it round. I used my old lawn mower filler can. Hold's about two pints. Once it starts to cough. Stop and fill with the can. Or you are going to be in trouble pulling fresh fuel through. Know how much your tank will hold. Then fill it up at different marker's on the gauge. From that you can work out just how much you have. To what the gauge show's. Am I tell you how to suck egg's?
