Fuel Light Roulette

[dave_xb12r]

Short and sweet. On your XB, how far have you gone with the fuel light on?

I figure max is 35 miles.

 

[GatorBuell]

I have gone 37 but im on a Ss.

 

[Trill]

30 something and still had almost a gallon of fuel left.

 

[Buell_Cru]

12 Miles is what I've gone. Never pushed it really.

 

[03Firebolt9R]

Me neither...I never go more than 20.

 

[bajabomber87]

A little over 30.

 

[onelogue]

Good to know some of you have gone 30 miles. I was sweating bullets last night when my light turns on 12 miles from home.

 

[racepro716]

I got 38 KM on my XB12R, that's like 20 miles or so. In a HUGE rain storm no less, and you thought you were sweating. LOL, Wayne

 

[teh Nub]

I've gone around 35 or so miles on my Ss.

 

[kajer]

I've pushed 30 something, never wanted to go further than that...

 

[ROJO]

40 miles. Trust me, I know!!! (2004 xb12)

 

[Grrr]

LOL

37.5 miles on a 2004 XB12R.

But I've ran out with less miles on "F trip". I ran out with 3/10 of a gallon left! I topped it off and could only get 3.4 gallons in it.

P.S. I GOT 65.5 MILES TO THE GALLON THE OTHER WEEKEND !

 

[Midnight82]

How in the hell did you pull 65.5 mpg?! Are you running some sort of "Green" conversion on it?

I can pull about 45-48 mpg on mine.

As far as the Fuel Light, I don't ever go more than 20 miles once the light triggers. I've done my fair share of pushing in my past and don't want to do it again. [cool]

 

[dave_xb12r]

I've got 62mpg before, but I was doing the speed limit. I don't know what was wrong with me [confused] I'll never do that again! sorry to scare you guys like that.

I've had to push a bike about a mile before, so I've never had the balls to go more than 18.

 

[Midnight82]

Man, I must be doing something wrong. Were you going the speedlimit without any stop-n-gos?

I can't even imagine getting that kind of fuel mileage. I must be riding like a friggin maniac compared to you fellas

 

[ADAMLEE]

I swear it feels like I get feetpergallon instead of MPG for me.

I ride the Dyna and cruise so when I get on the buell it always go time!

I try and keep it under 20 miles after the light comes on. But I usually never rely on the light. Keep track of your miles and know how far you can get on a tank.

 

[03fire9r]

I have gotten 28 miles on mine and it was starting to sputter a little

 

[RyBuell]

29 miles after the light.

 

[Supermanrider]

20 miles after the light
normally fill up about 100-120 miles on the tank

 

[Stevenc150]

Light comes on about 135-140miles. I act as if 20 is the limit, but have went 25 before filling up.
