Just checking the fuel range of reserve on my '61 GF. Ran out of petrol last week and had to get my dear wife to bring some out
. I reckon 3 miles tops, and that was taking it easy. I've got the reserve tap (no tube) on the o/s and used it today to try to use up the remainder of the fuel on a short run. When it ran out, I took the taps off and recovered about a small plastic cup full of fuel. It would be nice to have about 10 miles reserve at least. All the japanese bikes I owned in the 80s seemed to be very generous.
I'm going to anticipate comments of 'don't run out' and 'top up sooner'
which is fine cos I'm not that daft. Wondered if there was a way of increasing the range a bit or just being more careful now I now I've only go a thimbleful at my disposal.
