Sounds like you don't have a reserve. As far as I know, Gas means a regular flow of fuel, and PRI means prime, I.E., more fuel.
On the 08 since there is a fuel gauge there is no reserve on the fuel valve switch. When your fuel gauge is empty there is still a gallon left. Its also designed that when you fill up the most the gauge will read is slightly over 3/4 full.Matador_Zen said:So when I run out of gas, I'm out of f#$kin gas.
I dont think the gauge is broken its just the design, if you ask anyone with an 08 ninja 250r or check other forums its a universal thing for the model. I believe it was designed that way and nobody will be able to get the gauge to full. Just a recommendation, but dont rely on the gauge, get an idea of mileage you get on average and use the old fashioned swith the bike back and forth the hear the fuel in the tank.Silo said:@Cali
I was wondering about that -- was going to ask the tech at my first service. What is the deal with the 3/4 tank reading?
Yeah bro the gauge is hosed when its saying full and your E. But the slight descrepancy in the gauge on my bike is not alarming me. My last fill up was just below the bottom of that indented inlet while I sat upright on the bike to get the most in it, and it was reading around 1/8 under full. I followed a thread on another forum and found its not uncommon.Matador_Zen said:Yes if you have a problem they will fix. I have a problem with mine that it says its full, FULL full, even when the bike is completely out of gas. So they are going to pull off the tank and connect the wires back together. I'm going to let them do it cause its under warranty. The 3/4ths thing is a new one on me. I would take it to a dealership to get that fixed. If you've filled it up, you know its full. When you get to 1/2 tank - 1/4 a tank or anywhere near E and it doesn't read right, then there may be a problem.
