Re: [St] Your fueling yourself



Dave,

Heck, my (still sorta new) '06 (...can't believe Ginny has already picked up her '08 ST already this week!!!) does exactly the same thing!

Steve Crate's link to the fuel tank diagram does however gives a good explanation why most motorcycles with a fuel guage are so inaccuarte.
Footnote: my buddy's 05 FJR has a VERY accurate fuel guage.

As a segue, the addition (this is an assumption since I have never ridden an "older" ST (pre-'05)) of the LCD display tells me (on one of the several screens) how many Kms I have left to "empty."  So when the incredibly annoying bright RED fuel warning light comes on, the screen usually tells me I have ~100 kms to go; or about one-third the total distance on a tank of gas ... another not-so-desirable trait of this bike, IMHO.  But it adds to the character of the bike I think I heard someone say...  :-)

Cheers,

Brian

PS For any  listers on the East Coast, I will be in Hoosick, NY having a long lunch at the Man of Kent pub with a few other riding friends on Sat 29 Sep (yep, tomorrow).  Feel free to drop in and exchange war stories.  Look for the ON (Ontario, Canada) licence plate attached to the bug-covered Caspian Blue ST.

PPS (for anyone still reading!) - would one of you (Euro) listers be kind enough to enlighten me as to what "Alice" is?
In the MotoGP world, I often see "Alice" advertising banners and logos.  This is not a brand sold in Canada so I am curious!
