How Many Kilometers Can a Motorcycle Run on Reserve Fuel?
1 Answers
There are many types of motorcycles, and different brands and models have varying reserve fuel tank capacities and fuel consumption rates, leading to differences in how far they can travel on reserve fuel. Taking a common 125cc cross motorcycle as an example, the reserve tank typically holds about 2 liters, which can normally cover several tens of kilometers without issue. This amount is usually sufficient to reach the nearest gas station. Here is some relevant information about motorcycle fuel tanks: 1. Introduction: First, motorcycle fuel tanks are not flat but rather uneven, primarily designed this way for easier installation. The secret of the reserve tank lies in the fuel tank switch, which usually has three positions: the lower position is the main fuel supply, the middle position is the off position, and the upper position is the reserve fuel supply. 2. Reserve Fuel Tank: For a typical 125cc scooter, the fuel tank usually holds 6-8 liters, with the reserve fuel being about 1 liter. The fuel consumption is around 3 liters per 100 kilometers. For a 125cc underbone motorcycle, the tank is usually 4 liters, with the reserve fuel being less than 1 liter. It can typically run about 30-50 kilometers. These models do not have a fuel switch but instead feature a fuel warning light. Most riders won't run the tank completely dry to avoid damaging the fuel pump. After the warning light comes on, the bike can usually run another 50-100 kilometers, depending on the vehicle's fuel consumption.
