sorry if this is old spec sheet here says 5.6gal for the 08R buell.com shows 5.3gal for the 2010R my bike walking empty holds 4.79gal what gives? | ||

All 1125 models are 5.3 gallons, realistically being about 5.2 usable due to the fuel pump hogging some space. I've filled up as much as 5.1 gallons while on the side stand, and I could get more if I had it upright, but I don't do that due to it making it harder to have consistent fuel economy readings.

well this as stated was walking empty i coasted duck waled into the gas station and on the sidestand placed 4.79gal in so looks like nearly a half gallon difference | ||

well, for what its worth, I've always wondered how long i could run the fuel light for... seems when it comes on im usually putting 4.1 gallons in- also usually average about 5 miles running on the light (i love how it keeps track of that for me!) so judging by your numbers i should be able to get up to 20 miles on the light... OR if my tank has 5.2 useable as stated, i could prolly squeeze 35 out of it... guess theres only one way to find out! LOL | ||

Good day Gentlemen. I have ran-out fuel twice, do to the time of day ( late at night). Like Hildreth said you will get about 20 miles on the light, but not much more. | ||
| Froggy |
Fuel light should be coming on on at about 4.5 gallons used, and depending on your riding style you will get between 10 and 40 miles before your walking. | ||

My fuel light has been coming on steady at about 125 miles. Seems kinda low for a 5.3 gal tank. That isn't hard riding. I am still in break-in, so I am not exactly wringing it's neck. What kind of mileage are you all seeing when the light comes on and under what kind of riding conditions? | ||
| Froggy |
190-200 miles before the light, not riding hard, 160-180 riding hard, and about 230 miles before the light comes on if I am hypermiling. | ||

I hate you and your hypermiling froggy...   (Message edited by joshinga on April 11, 2010) | ||

Froggy, you'd better let us all know your fuel mileage secrets - I'm lucky to get to 140 before the fuel light comes on - but that's commuting. | ||
| Bartimus |
My average is 120 to 130 before the fuel light comes on, with my CR. | ||
| Boogiman1981 |
well didn't and don't count miles on every tank just watch the light and now i know that for average riding(for me) i've got 27miles before im on foot | ||

142 miles today when the light came on, tough to see it in daylight with sun. I fill it about the same every time, only 4 fills so far, I stop when the pump stops, I don't top it off, 4.2 gallons. Around 33mpg, I have 540 miles on it, 2008 R with a 2010 motor, I am doing the first oil change this week. | ||

I HAD 12 MILES ON MY FUEL COUNTER AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOPPED IT OFF TO THE GAS CAP WITH 4.899 G. I HAD 134 MILES CLOCKED WHEN I TOPPED OFF. | ||
| Boogiman1981 |
i wonder why these are so inconsistent could it be all in the filling technique? just to be clear i leave it on the side stand and fill to the lower ring as i had liquid fuel spill out after filling over that point before | ||
| Jleblanc26 |
I fill mine upright sitting on the bike, I said previously to the gas cap but actually right below the cap. As full as I can get it. So yeah I could squeeze 5 gal if I went further than 12 miles past the light. | ||
| Jleblanc26 |
With my mileage at fill up and the amount I put in. that gives me roughly 27 miles to the gallon. Thought it would be higher than that. That doesn't include the fuel that might have been left in the frame, yes I said frame, lol. So 30 miles to the gallon would about right | ||

At 32,000 s'mles even w/ TM, I get 145 miles with 3.7 gal. I have run 20 miles after the fuel light comes on. FWIW, after 2,500-3,500 miles you will see improvement in MPG. | ||

I fill up at the fuel warning light with 3.73 Imp gallons (17 litres) usually showing 150-155 miles (approx 250 kilometers) approx 41 mpg |
