Guest Desmo1264 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Just wondering how people have been doing on fuel mileage on the 1300 V-Star's??? My light comes on at about 125 to 130 miles. How have others done and has anyone ever run out of fuel after light came on??? Thanks for all your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peabody Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Riding in town, I get about the same. I have gotten over 185 miles before the light came on, but I was riding with a dozen other riders on I-75. I think I was getting a good draft. I ran the bike once until the reserve ran out. (running out of gas on a FI motor is a BAD idea.) I was able to put her in neutral and coast into a station just as it started to sputter. I got about 37 miles on the reserve and the total fill up was 3.71 gallons. The other 1.18 gallons is lost due to the countersunk fuel cap. It leaves a lot of empty space you can't fill up. I'm tempted to switch it out with a top-mounted cap. Hope this helps.
