Reserve taps are for wimps, real men have little flashing lights Laughing

Actually it's right where the NSR "low on two stroke oil" light is, first time it came on it caught me off guard - I though it was running low on two squeek Embarassed

Nah.... 'real' bikes have reserve taps. Wimpy 2-stroke sound-a-likes* might have poncy lights though Smile

I believe that it was Demonic that started the 2-stroke comparison business Smile

Zak was the one that almost got us lynched because of his dis-respect for Harleys Confused

My other bike had a fuel guage being a ped.
But all this one has is the reserve so i just getting used to it.
But i know on a full tank it'll do 160khm so every time i fill up i just zero the trip meter and wait till it reaches 130khm b4 i fill up again.
Pretty simple.

Laughing I just reset my trip every time I fill up (bout 85miles), my mechanic broke my fuel tap off though and jammed it in reserve, so must be careful 'til he fixes that.

I can't it's got helmet storage under the tank, so it's a funny shape and I can only see the petrol level when it is at the top. Confused

I can back you up on that. You could slosh it about though- or unclip the hook at the front and see how heavy it is Smile

BTW- can you fit your lid under the tank?
