When you get down to almost reserve (F) starts counting up miles till you stop and refill.

Then you reset it just like trip 1 and trip 2

Really? I didn't realize that. I did notice it quits about 5 miles after you fill up. I'll have to do that on my next tankful. Learn sumpin' every day. :)

If you don't want to wait on the bike to reset away from the "F" counter, you can press select after filling up and choose trip 1 or 2 then reset to zero.

 

I use this as a closer gauge for amount of fuel left in the tank when getting close to reserve. If i am close enough to gas station, i will let it go to reserve if that far out. i rather watch for stations and fill up before reserve.

 

My best solo mileage was 190 miles on the trip odo and filled up with 4.6 gallons.

my best 2up mileage was 184 miles on the trip odo and filled up with 5.1 gallons - went to reserve on that one with gas not far off.

Also, when i bought my 04 RSV, the previous owner told me that i had about 30 miles when the "F" odo came up and swtiching to reserve. he smiled when he told me that. so, i don't push it. i just find some gas.

I rode "F" for 24.0 miles, two up pulling the trailer. when I gased up, I filled the tank with 6 & 9/10 fuel:doh::no-no-no:

Brother, that was cutting it soooo close. i don't know how you got away with no walking for gas. must have been what was left in the carbs. maybe just some fumes.

No way, must mean 5 & 9/10. I filled up with 5.96 once.

I forever carry extra gas with me, even if its a gallon, But most of the time a 2.5 gallon can

 

 

Noop, My 2007 has a 6.1 gallon tank. I had 1/10th of a gallon left

Charlie By the way you keep asking Q? you do not have a owners manual for this bike do you thats the last thing I did was read the book its a guy thing I played with all the switches pushing buttons seeing what did what and how it worked Peg asked if I read the manual? NO its no fun that way. LOL

My RSTD has a 5 Gallon tank bummer :(

Yamaha didn't make the RSTD tank same as the RSV? extra gallon of gas makes a lot of difference on road trips..

Charlie,

 

I have a owners manual for an '03. Can't think of anything that would be different other than the colour of the bike.

Do you want it?

Posted

There are even owners manuals online. I don't think Yamaha charges for the one on the website.

 

I do have one in pdf format, but I honestly think he is only asking all the questions so we won't forget that he has a shiny new second gen.
