How Far Can a Motorcycle's Reserve Fuel Last?
1 Answers
Motorcycle reserve fuel tanks generally have a capacity of around 2 liters, but not all of this fuel can be fully utilized as some remains unextractable. For typical 125cc or 150cc cross motorcycles, the reserve fuel can usually last approximately 50–70 kilometers. However, if the reserve fuel outlet pipe in the fuel tank switch is positioned higher, the distance may be shorter. Motorcycle Fuel Tank Switch: There are variations among different brands and models, so it's not accurate to simply state whether the reserve position is up or down, as these directions may be reversed depending on the motorcycle. Switch Indicators: Motorcycle fuel tank switches are marked with indicators. The switch handle has an arrow, and the switch itself features letters or graphical symbols. "ON" or a full cup symbol represents the main fuel tank, while "OFF" or a half-cup symbol indicates the reserve tank. The direction the arrow on the switch handle points to signifies which function is currently in use.
