hi, just got the 2014 abs. ran out of fuel (only 20 mi on reserve display??) - filled up to top, didn't get the full 4.9g, more like 4.4. thoughts?
 
Im i Australia, got the 2013. Fuel light comes on at around 190km. I do 50km on reserve. I average around 8.9L/100km. It's not the best. The fuel light on the '13 comes on with a 4L reserve (as per the manual) so i can safely do 50km on reserve. Total is 240km and around 16Litres of fuel.
 
I only count on 15 miles after the light comes on, a mate of mine ran out after 17 miles. I always reset my trip meter when I re-fuel and top up around the 90 miles mark.
 
The yellow light means means 20 miles at best.
Expect to get 90-100 mph out of a full tank. It's worse before break-in.

Dont confuse reality with brochure bullshittery.
When the tanks capacity is measured,its bone dry and filled to the absolute brim,....and then the figure rounded up.In the real world,there will be a slight amount of fuel left in the bottom,...and the bike is probably on the sidestand.Easily lose half a gallon there.
 
Does the 2013 & 2014 T have a fuel gauge? Does it show empty when light comes on?

They don't have a fuel gauge, jlight that comes on when you are running on fumes :lol

i just zero my trip meter every fuel stop and start looking for more from around 80 mile on.

the most I have dared do after the light comes on is 15 miles.
