I think the max capacity of the tanks may be 7.7 gal, but the fuel pump in the lower tank and float in the upper tank could account for the .3 gal reduction we see.
This really doesn't help us to figure out whether you have a gas guzzling problem or a gauge problem. Fill it up and tell us how much fuel it took and how many miles you rode to get it to that point.Hi there and thank you for your input. I filled up the tank to the very top and rode 128 miles and my fuel
gauge was on 1 bar and flashing, then it changed to 18 miles and went down very fast.
Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind.Hooooweeee, Kent. You were on FUMES. At 39.5 mpg, you had 7.9 miles left until empty! Talk about cutting it close.
Yes - it has a 3 stage warning.I was kind of wondering if the gauge had a different look for "Refuel NOW you IDIOT!"
John, is "silent running" mode, the same as "operating in the non-functioning mode"?At around 0 litres left, the engine switches itself into silent running.
Have we lost the OP?

Kent, "12:1 two stroke mix"?? I've run some thick ratois in various old engines, but none like that.Thanks for that. I'll keep it in mind.
I was kind of wondering if the gauge had a different look for "Refuel NOW you IDIOT!" other than the flashing one-bar. If needed I was going to feed in a little of the 12:1 two-stroke mix but I didn't run out before I got to my local station.
My wife's Honda GROM shows a flashing single bar for a while and then the bar stop flashing and stays solid red when you reach fumes. The single bar is a black LED covering a solid red background on the Grom. When not flashing, you see black. When flashing you see black/red/black/red. When the LED is off, you see the solid red inked background.

Almost. Silent running mode is the warning indication that you get first. It doesn't last for long - dependent upon the speed the bike was travelling immediately before entering this particular mode. I think the ECM must work it out from the sensors. Maybe 100 yards. After that the bike switches to your 'operating in non-functioning mode'.John, is "silent running" mode, the same as "operating in the non-functioning mode"?
What hoses are you referring to?D. Eliminated heavy shifting force. (relocating rubber hoses to trailing side of shift linkage helped as well).
I think countersteering is a fact of physics and not really an option at speed above crawl.C. Eliminated all necessity to countersteer. (Look where you want to go and lean into and out of a turn.)
His bike has been whispered.....ST GUI,
Under the bike, behind the crankcase, three rubber hoses pass behind the engine and infront of the shift linkage. I moved the hoses to the trailing side of the shift linkage as the linkage arm was compressing the hoses when shifting. But if you feel a double detent when shifting the real fix is to improve throttle body balance.

Oh I didn't know this was an item on the Whisper list!His bike has been whispered.....
Is a trip south in my future? HmmmOnly those whose bike I've whispered (taken hostage) know how many things are on the dreaded OCD whispered list
It would be in your best interestIs a trip south in my future? Hmmm
