[QUOTE="John Appleton, post: 14533, member: 760"] How far does your bike, twin, or single, go on reserve? Tom[/QUOTE] Tom, my Rapide, fully laden, will do 9miles on reserve. with care I have stretched this to 12 but would not rely on it. I usually do as Tony does , and use the same refill mileages that he is.

I have therefore been able to determine my main tank ranges without the embarassment of having to push! Just for the record, the total mileage for main and reserve is 155 miles .
