ummm.............Open the gas cap.I had to sorry.

I never heard of any aftermarket fuel gauge for the dale before.You can look under the seat and see the gas tank and see through it enough to tell how much you got.

Besides the two ways that MXMIKE said I think thats it. On our EX we have to look inside the cap. In the YZF we have a Clark clear tank on it, so it's a little easier. I know my Dale is really good on fuel compared to our YZF and our 440 EX. We ice raced Sunday and I used half as much fuel running the same amount of moto's.

I'm to old to run it out of gas. I run out first. But last Saturday, I ran it about 3 hours and still had about a half a tank. I'm running 104 race fuel though.

The ONLY reason why I do is this is Walsh's old bike and it's what he ran in it. It is also the same fuel our Yamaha sponsor said to run in the YZF

As far as the fuel goes, just ride with your buddies raptors and Banshees, when ther out of fuel you may want to take a peek. The dales have a great range. As far as what we run for fuel is a 50 50 mix race and pump, all of our pump gas is 92 or less octane which is not enough.

When I bought mine the dealer had 110 octane in it and it run great in the building. But starting it the next morning after it sat in the cold was about impossible. Drained tank put in 93 runs great now.
