#261534 DKLAZ (User) of COURSE I need a second bike dear!!! Expert Boarder Posts: 503 Hit bottom on fuel this morning 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I normally fill up and put 4.3-4.5 gallons in with each fill-up, and I calculate right around 37 MPG. I decided to run it as dry as I could, and ran out the reserve this morning on the way to work....right in front or a gas station! She took 5.379 gallons to fill, with my punched out neck, and still calculated out to right at 37 MPG. I've always heard that these gals hold 5.3 in a bone-dry tank....and I think I just proved it.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 2574 Re:Hit bottom on fuel this morning 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Yeah and you just proved my point that 37 mpg is about the average for a R*. I have 2 R*'s and both get about the same. One is bone stock with slip on mufflers, the other has true duals & K&N air filter and is fully dressed with fairing,hardbags & tour pak. Let me ask you how many miles did you go on that 5.3 gallons???   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #261552 DKLAZ (User) of COURSE I need a second bike dear!!!

Expert Boarder Posts: 503 Re:Hit bottom on fuel this morning 3 Years, 2 Months ago   I wish I could tell you, but when I reached down to switch it to the reserve, it was already there, so I knew I was at the bottom. Not too scientific, I know....but hey? DKLAZ   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #261835 Bushman52 (User) American by birth...Southern by the grace of God. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1927 Re:Hit bottom on fuel this morning 3 Years, 2 Months ago   Inquiring minds want to know. After you ran out of gas, how did you get going again? did you have back up, or did you rent a gas can? P.S. Nevermind..I just read your original post again.......Duh!   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/03/04 06:45 By Bushman52.   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\" No matter where you go....there you are.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #261836 erizo (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1865 Re:Hit bottom on fuel this morning 3 Years, 2 Months ago   quick question for the guys with injection.... is the fuel pump in the petrol tank? just wondering because harleys have their pump in the tank, and they are cooled by the petrol. run them out of gas 3 or 4 times an it can lunch the pump, and that´s expensive. known a couple of people who have changed the pump on road kings, and after talking to jon olsen at S&S, he explained this was the probable cause, and after asking the owners, this is what they both had done. might be worth looking into.....   Logged     be realistic - demand the impossible!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #261850 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am..
