How many miles can you ride when gas light comes on RT model?

[Peter Aawen]

You should be able to ride all the way up to and including, but no farther than when the engine stops running.

Oh come on, Dave!!

You know that if you're doing 70 mph when the engine quits cos you got no gas left you can usually coast for about 100 yards or so, often more if it happens on a down hill run!!

Whenever you run out of fuel: it's always at the bottom of a very steep hill...

[Peter Aawen]

No Bob, that's just when you STOP!!

You probably ran out of fuel some distance back, maybe even waaaay up near the top of the hill but just over the crest & onto the downhill run, then once you'd run out of gas you just kept rolling until you got to the bottom of the hill!!


Try it one day if you like, I'm pretty sure you'll soon see that you can & will go further than your fuel will take you, but not by too much!!

Thanks for the kind offer... But I'd rather plan my "unplanned" stops, so that I roll up to a filling station pump just as the engine starts to sputter!

But it never quite works out that way!
