Had to change to reserve at 189 miles is this somewhere near or can anyone shed any light on what could be going wrong bike has 37k on
Runs sweet as
Cheers
i'm pretty regular at 130-140.
i'd try to duplicate it.
Sounds about right to me. I only get that when I ride like a gentleman. Unfortunately the tigger is not really suited for gentlemen, so I get 140 - 150 at best and your figures when I'm dragging the missus about on her 125.
My silly b*gger light comes on way early. Generally it's a good indicator that I have at least half a tank left.
Thanks fellas wasn't sure tigger is new ish to me and been in bits all winter
Just trying to suss out we're I am with it
I do tend to be a hooligan on it too can't help myself

Har! I'm just figuring mine out too. Ran myself out of gas about 20km from the nearest gas station! had to lean her over about 4 times to drain every drop into the carbs. managed to make it to a campsite where I was able to beg a couple of litres from the caretaker. I wont make that mistake again!! :thumbsup

I've read through this thread, and I'm having some difficulty believing what I'm seeing. The fuel warning light goes on on my '98 Steamer at 150 miles; but if I stop and refuel at that point, the tank still has ~2.5 US gallons in it. I've never had to go to reserve, as I generally stop for fuel before I get to 200 miles. My most recent trip (all pavement, about 650 miles of mixed highway and twisties) was last weekend, and I filled the tank four times.
What am I missing?
:5huh
well spotted foothills. its my light that comes on at 150 too. very rarely let it run into the reserve so i just presumed thats what everyone else done. i really must learn to slow down and read things properly.
so as far as how many miles i get till then i have no idea.
I could be wrong?? You covered 650 mls,filled up 4 times,got about 2.5 galls still in tank? So 4 x 3galls = 12. 12 into 650 = 54 mpg?? (or there or there abouts?)
I get 9 miles per litre, so that is about 200miles to reserve, and 225 if she runs dry.
