    Range to empty display

    Has anyone tested the accuracy of the "Range to Empty" display.   I don't trust them since running out of fuel when the display read 37 miles.   OK, it was on a different bike and a few years ago so hopefully Triumph are using more up to date technology and the display gives an accurate indication.  This evening the display showed 25 miles to empty and it was still going strong?

    .... the display showed 25 miles to empty and it was still going strong?

    Fuel is drawn from the bottom of the tank, so as long as there is still fuel being delivered to the engine,
    it will still be"going strong"  ..... until the fuel runs out then it will be "going nowhere" !   :015:

    I just filled mine when it said 60 miles left.  It also said I had used 4.5 gallons.
     I put 5.5 gallons in it. 
    I'll look at those displays but I'll still reset the mileage and fill up based on that.  This thing is too heavy to push.

    I had a fun moment with that dash option recently and decided to self impose my Reserve Tank limit to 1 gallon - or - 45 miles max, anything beyond that can get a bit hairy! :002:

    Edit: Reserve Tank is measured after the orange fuel warning light switches on :038:

    I don't think it's very acurate since I let it go down to zero and still could do another 25 kms  (16 miles) before refueling. I did not dare going beyond that eventhough I was not riding alone and my friend had a hand syphon on board!

    It's not very accurate and pretty pessimistic.  I've ridden more than 30 miles with "0" showing on the display.
