Calculation Methodology

Main Range to Reserve Light = ((Tank Capacity - Reserve Liters) / Adjusted Consumption L/100km) * 100. Total Distance to Flameout = (Tank Capacity / Adjusted Consumption) * 100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most motorcycles leave a 0.8 to 1.0 gallon (3 to 4 liters) reserve, providing roughly 35 to 50 miles (55 to 80 km) of safe riding range at moderate speeds.
