Fuel capacity?

Ran the bike pretty low, but not out of gas and it took 5.1 gals to fill -- thought cap on the 05 Ca model was 5 gals. Just wondering if my local gas miester's pumps are out of calibration (in his favor) or if the 5 gallons is a "guestimate"

5.0 for a CA model gas tank...they have to allow for expansion on a hot day. I too have been able to get about 5.05-5.1 in one

Did about the same thing up north here... San Luis to Pacifica on one tank. 4.98 gal fillup. I noticed I was dry when it sputtered on me.

"dryness" was the issue -- my teeth were floating -- so I opted to take her home first

Your welcome

I've been out in BFE a few times and didn't know where the next gas station was...thought I would have to push it a few times

Same here. It kind of ruined my fun, but you gotta get gas before it is too late.

Damn Mike! Thats a long way with the light on! 5.1 gallons? Did you fill it into the neck at all. Maybe there is just enough room at the top of the tank....huh?
