and some one-station towns closed the pumps early and opened only at 8 AM the next morning. but some of those stretches were LONGggggg between gas stations. the times i ran out were all on my recent trip from Canada down the west coast hugging the ocean on 101 and #1 where available. it is just that I would expect that, when i RUN OUT. (the Guadalajara region) with great roads but the hills can cause great variance in mpg. most of our day trips here are in low mountain regions in the middle of Mexico where i live. well, except a nuisance to keep gassing up. I do the trip reset bit but depending on and, for local stuff that is no problem. the fuel switch definitely does NOT have a spare tank setting. Has anyone experienced that? I know it sounds a bit silly but I hesitate to take anything apart or bring it to the mechanic/dealership which is about 40 miles away. I am writing the previous owner to get his thoughts, advice, admission. Is that possible? It would have been a deliberate mechanical (hose reconnecting) change to bring that about. MAYBE I am only drawing gas from the upper tank. even when I ran out it only allowed for less than 10 or so liters to "fill" up and my mileage calculations always showed me getting 45-50 MPG like I should expect.
It finally dawned on me after buying the bike in Canada and riding all the way to my home in Mexico that my (only) complaints about the frequency of filling up, of running out and of the 'idiot" light not seeming to work may be all connected.
