I just picked up a 650 V2 last night...

I was wondering...

How many miles can you get out of a tank of GAS?

 

The max I have ridden on one tank with mixed riding was 92 miles. It ran out of gas as I was lowering the ramp to put it on the trailer. I lucked out that day.

 

Were you on the reserve already? Or did the main tank just go dry?

 

thats the same thing that happened to me today. i just go finished riding with my friends and as soon as my dad pulled up to pick me and my friend up my grizz dried out. i had to use the reserve tank just to get it on the trailer. it was great timing. todai was a good day of riding.

 

The 650 doesn't have a reserve.

 

Yep...NO RESERVE...
But does the 650 have a gas shutoff valve?


BTW..took it out on a small ride yesterday, 25 miles..and man I'm impressed with this bike...it is sooooo smooth..it has the best ride and way to much power than anybody needs.. I made the right chose going with the AC 650V2

Is there anything I need to look for on this new bike such as problems, or just things to look out for?

 

my buddy with his 05 650 get just over 100 miles to a tank on his.

 

Like has been said, the 650 does not have a reserve tank. Just 6.5 gal. with a shutoff valve (Although I have not used mine). One interesting note is that the fuel gauge showed empty and started flashing at about 60-65 miles. On the 90 miles I mentioned, it was over two days of riding in Island Park, Idaho. My wife and I ride double with about 150 lbs. of gear. The first day was mountain trail riding from about 6,500 ft. to 8,500 ft. elevation. The second was relatively flat at about 6,500 ft. mostly on a sandy old railroad bed trail. So I am sure I would get more miles on a tank riding alone and on better trails. But the 90 mi. per tank seems to be a good gauge for mixed riding.
