Wanted to push the gas mileage and see what I could do on reserve. Well I did it today. I actually ran out of gas on the I5 freeway today just before the Lyons offramp which was up hill. Felt the bike shut down a couple of times when I gassed it so I pulled in the clutch in sixth gear and coasted right off the freeway dead engine and all right into a gas station. I was actually laughing at the thought that I just may not make it so close. But I did. Glad I took the short way home today. Strange thing is I only was able to put 5.48 gallons into the tank after 251.8 miles an average of 45.9 mpg. Of those miles 51.1 were on reserve according to the display. I use the Fuelly app so I track all my miles. On my 4th fuel up I put in 5.51 gallons at 229.2 miles for an average of 41.6 mpg but I seem to remember I was on reserve for only 25 miles. Anyway I don't think I will be able to use all the as advertised 6 gallon tank but overall great mileage. So after exatcly on month I managed 1651 miles. Love the bike.
