2020RT remaining gas in tank

[Stache]

Wow! That display does NOT exist on my RT -- just a soft grey circle.

Can be selected in the display options

I don't think that Distance to Empty is optional. But the firmware is different on the 2020 then my 2018. It may be that all the trip meters have not been reset and it can't calculate the correct value so does not display one at all. Go into the statistics menu and reset all the meters. Trip A, Trip B and Total. This should give it a new starting point and start to work. Don't worry resetting the total does delete your total mileage. Just the data around it.

I thought the same thing when people were talking about this, I didnt have it.
Last night i went into the display settings and found it. I wish I remembered how to get to it to turn it on, but I am old and I forgot already. I just remember it was in the display settings.

I just went out and turned mine on. Options->Customization->range. It's not the 'Display' option, that only allows a change in brightness.

So, my last ride of 191 miles (since filled) moved the fuel gauge to 1/8, and the range display says 49 miles, which should be 1.32 gallons remaining. I'll fill it today and see what it takes, but the numbers seem reasonable so far.

You will have to go into the menu's and turn that feature on for it to appear.

[Fatcycledaddy]

it was under customize display which I thought was under display, sorry, might have been under settings. I unfortunately do not have mine here at work so I can go look at it and see.

Thank you for the tip

thank u for showing path

[billybovine]

Just checked my 2018 F3L. It does not have the Customize option. I wondered what the differences where on the 2020 firmware. Here's one.

Thank you very much!!

3000 miles and up before the fuel mileage starts to get where it should. 5000 is even better.

X2! Bikerbillone, yours has just begun thinking about getting broken in.

Based on one data point (statistically insignificant), my gauge and applicable warnings (low fuel and miles-to-go) seem to be as accurate, if not more accurate, as my other computerized vehicles. When my low fuel light came on, the miles-to-go was 40. It took 5.5 gallons to fill the tank, so I should have 40-50 miles further range. I certainly don't expect better accuracy than that. More data points to be collected, however. The best part of all of this is that I now have miles-to-empty on my dash! Thanks for that!

[BeRight]

Progress - did a proper fill-up. Miles to empty 220. Huge difference from 154.

I was able to zero trip A,B but not total - still need to play around with it some more.

My miles and miles to empty calculations still seem wrong - will try zeroing Total and see if that helps

Any tips - what direction:center, up-down, left-right and if quick press or hold longer.

After selecting A or B I was able to zero out by pressing center and holding, while holding I moved down - zero out. However, when I tried same approach to Total it jumped back to previous screen.

[Gwolf]

I don't think you can zero the total mileage. There are laws about that.

[ARtraveler]

When you zero trip A or B the mileage accumulated on the gauge is zeroed. The big number remaining in the circle is how many approx. miles left. When you add gas, the additional miles are calculated based on your mpg reading. When done adding more gas, you should end up with 250 or so miles in the circle. Mine consistantly show 270 miles to go. The total includes what was still there plus what you added.

The miles used at the beginning should now show zero.

Total miles is how many you have put on the Spyder...that gauge does not zero out.

[Steve W.]

You will not be able to reset "Total". That is the distance your machine has covered since it was sold. Just like the cars, trucks and motorcycles you have had before, that is "the odometer". "A" and "B" are merely two trip meters.

On my van, I don't have to reset any trip meters to reset the MPG numbers. After filling the tank (to whatever level desired), I just reset the MPG display, it will start at ZERO, then do its calculations based on distance traveled and how much fuel went through the injectors. The "Distance to Empty" (on my van) does not seem to change until I fill the tank to at least half its capacity, and it seems to be based on what the recent MPG has been and the estimated fuel level in the tank.

I have no idea how much (if any) of this might apply to a Spyder, as ours does not have this feature, but it might shed some light in a different corner and someone might figure it out.

OOPS - I was thinking that total was trip A + trip B instead of Bike's total miles - thank u I would have still been playing with display

I think some of my 80+mph riding has tanked my gas mileage - so probably why I could only get 220.

I try to mix it up with highway and backroads - need to work on more backroads when I have time

While mine is approaching geriatric age as a 1330 I've found that time above three grand rpm, nothing measured, just watching the tach over time, is a determining factor in the mileage on that particular tank of gas.

80 mph will contribute to lower mileage for sure. Optimum mileage is usually achieved in the 3300 - 3500 range. When you get over 65 mph, the mileage will go down.

Thank u for info. - very interesting - I am rarely below 3k RPMs - the bike seems more responsive to changes when in the 3200-3500 range, for things like necessary maneuvers and passing.

In fact I shift based on lower 3k's. Maybe I should tone it down a bit.

I know that 80s mph (4Ks rpm) bike takes huge gulps of gas.

As I said in post 27. Doing a reset in the total screen does not reset the total miles. It does not reset the engine hours either. It does reset, top speed, average speed and, the important one for this thread, miles per gallon number.

Ok - so let me play this back to make sure I'm understanding: resetting trip A and B (zero) also automatically resets top speed/average speed and miles per gallon???

[billybovine]

Reseting trip A. Resets top speed, average speed and fuel mileage for trip A only. Resetting trip B does the same for trip B only. Same for Total only. Those 3 sets of stats are not the same and calculated separately.
