[QUOTE="FJRocket, post: 195511, member: 299"] I've gone 47 miles into the reserve and still had a few tenths gallons remaining. I was riding VERY conservatively to wean out those miles on flat highway. The electric fuel pump is in the gas tank. Less fuel = more HEAT. Plus I think the fuel lubricates the pump? Not good to run it dry. You have to have the pump to pressurize the system (I think). You burn up the pump, and you are stuck. Shutting off the fuel (running out) doesn't do much. That's what the rev limiter does. But I'd be very worried about the fuel pump. Having said that, too bad this topic has been thrown into NEPERTS. I'd really like to know 2 things: Has anyone ever run out of gas on an FJR and what DID happen? Also, has anyone even had a fuel pump failure on an FJR? [/QUOTE]
