Sometimes it happens with your 2nd bike. When I had the GZ, I always reset my trip odometer and like Easy suggested, I simply filled it up based on the mileage before I ever got to the reserve limit, thus, I kinda forgot all about the reserve function. When I bought my Vulcan new from the dealer, they were getting it ready for me at the end of the day and they only had about a gallon of fuel at the dealer, which they put in my tank while I watched. I drove out of the lot and on my way to the gas station, the bike sputtered and stopped. I pulled off on the shoulder and tried to restart, to no avail. I remember thinking that I'd just watched them put a gallon of fuel in the bike, and I'd only gone a few miles, so there was no way I could be out of fuel, something must be wrong with the bike. Can you say "brain fart"? Of course, it still had about 8/10ths of a gallon in the tank, I just didn't have the tank on the reserve setting. Took me about an hour to figure that one out. Some days, the old noodle just isn't working very well I guess. Kinda embarrassing though. :whistle:
