Run out of Fuel

[garb55]

Listen to all of you for Petes sake stop and get fuel. Why take the chance and suck up some **** of the bottom of the tank.

I stop at the rest stop
I don't **** in my gas tank

When I filled up it took 6.1 gal. Is that a record?

Unless you can beat 6.4 gal.....

To each their own, never run completely out thankfully, avg 160mile per tank any grade, 20mile is all i would risk after light comes on i keep @least 3bars on mine, iPhone app gas cubby is helpful and have the garmin gps set up with its version of fuel gauge/gas log, extra reminder when i do get distracted &lost in the ride, it shows gas stops &in witch direction, with out me having to "search" handy

Not good running out of fuel in a fuel injected engine either.

I didn't run out but I must have been running on fumes last week, pulling my trailer. I think the light comes on when the next to last bar goes off. Pulling the trailer I figured about 15 miles per bar after the first 15 or 20 miles. I then got at least 10 miles after the last bar disappeared but the bike was still running when I got to the pump. Filling it up to the tippy-top I put in 6.157 gallons.

Sorry I was out of town,
So the last bar did go out. that is good info, because I wasn't sure if I had 20 or so miles when the last light remained or went out.
Not that I'm trying to push it but sometimes you need to

In all the bikes I have owned, I have always been able to squeeze more gas into the tank than rated --

On this Spyder I have not been able to get the gas to stay in the filler neck -- it just creeps down -- this makes it difficult for me to get an accurate reading on the fuel mileage -- as I like a good reference point

I have filled it until it kicks off and then taken a lot of time to get it up to the top -- to no avail == when I think its there, it seeps away -- no puddle or over flow under the bike

This is my problem also

DON'T try to...
If you overfill the tank; you WILL end up with raw gas in the evaporative canister...
And that's a mess...

Was ryding yesterday. Didn't get gas when I got down to 2 bars. Stupid me!!! And I left my trusty gas can at home.

Last light went out with 144 miles on the tank. Went 13 more miles and finally see a gas station. I was sweating it! Thought it would take close to 6 gallons, but topped it off at 5.5 gallons. I could have probably gone another 10 miles.

I guess all Spyders are different. But I can go easily 20-25 miles after the last bar goes out on my 2012 RT.

have to fill slow,on, off, on, off,towards the top. I have a 2010RT,SE5. getting 37.2 mpg last fill. I thought I normaly got about 32.mpg

When my light come on then look at my odo and I make sure at 150 traveled time to gas up.
