Title: reserve tank Post by: hadesducati848 on March 08, 2010, 04:34:45 PM how many miles do you guys get when your reserve light comes on? i have a monster 2009 696 and at only 13 miles on reserve light i ran out of gas. my 848 gets about 45-50 miles depending on how i ride, so i was shocked when at only 13 the bike died out and wouldnt start. then after putting about a half of gallon of fuel it started right up.

Title: Re: reserve tank Post by: somegirl on March 09, 2010, 07:32:49 PM Typically at least 20 miles, I've gotten a bit more but don't usually push it.
However, since riding a bike without a working fuel light I never rely on it, just use the trip meter every time.
