Coaxing the last few miles out of reserve. The reserve's reserve! I've actually done this twice, and it works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFANWojM8LU |

I’ve posted several times about the fuel trapped by the frame hump. On Z1s and KZs there’s nearly 2lt trapped on the right side of the tank. |

Some bikes I've had were blessed with inaccurate fuel gauges. I've had to use the lean it WAY over trick on a few occasions. I tend to use the trip meter as a guide these days. I hate pushing heavy bikes.
