delboy21 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 have just bought suzuki bandit 1200 mk 1 ,i am about to go into the red on fuel gauge can anyone tell me is the red bit the reserve or when it hits rock bottom of gaugeg is that reserve thanks in advance Quote
winston smith Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 In my experience when the gauge hits top of the red there's between 2 & 3litres left - enough to get to a petrol station.However, on an older bike, just bought, without good knowledge of it's history/condition I wouldn't want to run it that low - who knows what crap n sludge is sitting at the bottom of the tank waiting to be sucked into the carbs.Fill up ASAP is best advice Quote
delboy21 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 just want to know if the red is the reserve or when it gets to bottom of gauge whats still in the tank is reserve Quote
Six30 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 When it goes past the red and reaches the E which stands for empty it means ........Start pushing . Quote
delboy21 Posted October 22, 2019 Author Posted October 22, 2019 so the red is reserve thats what i was asking thanks Quote
