When the "LOW RANGE" warning appears on your odometer, how far have you been able to drive. Yesterday mine came on and I drove about 5 miles to get home. Today I rode 2 miles down to the station to fill it up and it took 5.5 gallons. This means that I still had about 15 miles or so left.

When the low range came on my 2011 Tri.. I had a gallon left...And rode 25 miles it took 5.9 gallons Was i cutting it close , Yes and no i had a gallon and a half extra tank in the trunk so i kept on passing gas stations just to see how far i could go..Before i chickened out....:)..
On my 17 i have a low fuel light then it asks if i want to find the closest gas station( all on the radio ,not speaking to me LOL) and it says i have 50 miles on reserve and i have road 10 miles and have never put more than 5 to 5.2 gallons in, So if i keep driving will a low range light appear?
I've never seen the low range warning ... I have put 5.2 gallons in the tri, so not sure where it comes is or how many miles I could ride. I start looking at 125 miles for a station. Of course, around here it could be 40-80 miles to the next one ... :Shrug:

However we have more opportunities to fill up around here.:good: Fred

Yes.........
I almost always try to fuel before 1/4. I have let the low fuel light come on before but within 15 or 20 miles have always gotten fuel. I don't recall the max I have ever pumped on those rare occasions. I do know my tank lift threw my gauge off slightly.

You know to never trust a fuel gauge on a motorcycle learned that 50 years ago. LOL... (long Walk) ride safe Fred
