Gas Gauge!!!!

TrystaEC · 08-09-2009, 05:22 PM

I was just wondering if there is a way you can get a gas gauge for your bike. i know you can watch it and then put it on reserve but i just dont want to take that chance. Does anyone know if i can do that?

It's called a trip odometer. Fill it up every 140-150 miles and you'll have no problems.
Then reset it to zero when you fill it up again.

No.
If you want to be REALLY sure you don't have to go to reserve.....fill it up every 120 miles.
Watching the trip odometer is no more difficult than watching a gauge.

use a 12 inch ruler and use it by removing the cap

- kidding, keep it simple and use the tripmeter. just for 3 gallons i dont think there is a need for an extra dial.

A trip odometer is also a lot more reliable than a guage. Keep it simple and form a habit of resetting the meter after filling up.
