You'll laugh. Before I rode to work yesterday, I looked in the tank to check fuel level. With the bike level I could barely see fuel. I'm thinking 'well that's at least a gallon, and it's only eight miles to work.' Off I go, but on the way home at 11:30 pm, the engine studders and stops at 50 mph. In a panic, I reach under the tank and switch the petcock to reserve, and off she goes. Thank you Honda! Needless to say I stopped at the next 711 and filled up.
I'm under the impression that many riders just go until they have to switch to reserve, then stop for gas? I have no idea how far my 2009 750 Spirit can go on reserve. How do you decide it's time to fuel up?
