In Reply to: How far on reserve? posted by Steve on July 10, 2003 at 03:30:27:
Hi Steve,
The Savage handbook says there's 2.5 liters, 0.7 US gallon or 0.5 imperial gallon in reserve.
I normally get 60 miles to an imperial gallon, so that makes 30 miles on reserve.
I don't know how far the 35k you travelled is. I don't even know what 35k is. 35 thousand something. Feet ? Yards ? It can't be meters - that's a European thing. I'm sure you American's havn't gone metric yet. You still measure your temperature in Farenheit. And engine capacity in cubic inches.
Do you measure distance in America in kilometers and speed in miles per hour ? Has the US gallon been replaced by the liter ?
Happy Savage riding.
By the way - 30 miles is about 50 km.
