Whitlow Posted August 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I thought I had a 6 gal tank on my 01 RSV but when it reaches the point where I have to out it on reserve it only takes me 4.5 gals to fill it up. Also what kind of gas mileage do you all get? Thanks Edited August 16, 2011 by Whitlow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V7Goose Posted August 15, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 15, 2011 It absolutely DOES have a full 6 gallon tank. Reserve on the majority of these bikes is a full 1.5 gallons (not the 1 gallon in the manual). You cannot completely fill the tank if you do not punch vent holes in the neck. These and many other things have been discussed in HUGE detail on this site - it is all here just for your looking. Goose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitlow Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted August 16, 2011 So even though the tank looks full gas with in 1/2" of the top of the tank it is not full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flb_78 Posted August 16, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 16, 2011 nope, there's 2 big air pockets in the "boobs" on top of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
