I've done 80K on my reserve but it was by the grace of god and a lot of down hill coming out of some mountains in Oregon that I made it. Normally 70K was empty. In town I go 45K on reserve before filling up.
Haven't went more then 10 or 15 miles on the light. But to add to this 2012 848 EVO, I fill up soon after light comes on. Usually 2.5-2.75 gallons. That leads me to conclude that I have about 1.5 gallons left and about 60mile range on the light. Any thoughts? I still like that my old Honda has manual reserve.
The light is very random, sometimes it comes on way early, sometimes it comes on too late. I've had the light come on when its out of gas and leaves me stranded before. Other times it went on way before it needed gas.
The best indicator for fuel is to reset the odometer and at around 110 miles or so, get gas.
That's what I do. Set my Trip A to zero at the start of the day for total mileage and Trip B to zero for gas consumption indicator. Once I hit 100 miles I start looking for gas stations.
