All right I have a gas indicator warning. Went for a great ride on Sunday. 86*F, so it was T-Shirt and Bean Helmet ride with sunglasses. 8) Started ride knowing I was going to have to get gas. The LCD showed one square, but my route along the ST. Lawrence River has a lot of gas stations. As I drove the square was still there and the count up clock did not start. In one area of my ride I hit 3 miles of SHAD FLY ****. 100's of thousands of shad flys. It was so bad it felt like it was raining with every Shad Fly exploding on me and I felt the wetness of thier insides. I started laughing it was so bad, thinking this is what you would see in a movie. I also ride without a windshield.
Well all of a sudden my bike shut down. So first thing I though was the bike was overheated, because the rad area must have been caked on with Shad Flys. But no. Tried bike again still wouldn't start, so I new I must be out of gas. Tried one last time and it started, so I rode less then a mile to the nearest gas station.
The bike still read one square, but now that I was under a canopy I could see my fuel light was on. I then put in the most gas I ever put in my bike, so I was riding on fumes. 16 lt (4.25 gal). Because I use my trip one indicator at every fill up, to see how my gas milege is. It read 275 KM (170 miles). But the count up indicator never went on. So my warning is you may not want to rely on this. It has always worked for me before, till now. So I'll use my trip one indicator from this point on, and will stop for fuel at the 250 reading.
Should also state that right now I'm running with slip on Cobra, fuel processor and original air intake. Need to get more air in my bike, so new air intake soon.
