+1. Another thing to consider is that the neccessity of manually switching to reserve is a pain in the butt, at best.
At worst, it can be downright dangerous, depending on what sort of traffic situation you're involved in at the time, and how quick you are to realize that your motor sputtering means you're not going anywhere unless you make the switch, like right now...(!) Now I do remember the last time I used reserve...in the HOV lane during rush hour in Atlanta. Took me a couple seconds for it to click in that I was outta gas and my only escape route was to coast across 3 lanes of 70 mph traffic to the shoulder...took another couple to remember reserve, fumble for the petcock, turn it and wait for it to kick in. By that time, there were tires screeching all around me. That's why I use the odometer as a fuel gauge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
