I just bought a 2006 Speedmaster and have a question about the tank capacity and mpg. I commute to work 40 miles each way and rode the Speedie to work yesterday and today. on my way home on the freeway today I had to switch to reserve at 145 miles on the odometer. This was a little worrying because I still had 15 miles to go on the freeway. My other bike is a Harley Road King, and it is EFI and has a fuel gauge, so I have never had to deal with switching to reserve before.
Does 145 miles sound about right to be switching to reserve? Also, the manual says that I have a 4.40 gallon tank and 0.92 gallon reserve. Does that mean I have a total of 4.40 gallons including the reserve or 4.40 gallons plus the 0.92 gallon reserve. I think I know the answer based on my fill up at the gas station tonight (about 3.6 gallons) but I wanted to make sure.
