i run a bike till it stalls with petcock "on". Switch to reserve and get to a gas station. I have ridden a couple until they quit on reserve with a small fuel can just so I can get an idea just how far reserve will actually get me. I have gotten surprised recently with our Harley because I left the fuel enrichment pulled out a little and needless to say my fuel economy went into the basement.
Once you have an idea how far reserve will get you, cut it in half. Then ride by the odometer.
My BMW doesn't have a reserve. When the gauge hits the red zone, its time to find a station. fast.
