Your reserve tank hold 4.5liters worth of fuel.

I get 150miles on a BAD day.

So do the math, and you can expect just over 40miles on your reserve tank (thats lower than what you probably would get in reality, but its good to expect lower when it comes to reserves.)

I usually get about 30 miles of regular riding once it's switched to reserve, before the fuel gauge starts flashing.
I was VERY short of money and actually continued riding for about 10-15 miles after the flashing fuel gauge some months ago... but in the end I was panicking more about pushing the bike to a petrol station and didn't notice the exact mileage Embarassed
