    "Reserve" gas... today I learned

    I thought I might ask GSR where exactly the reserve tank was, but I asked the Google instead, and found a very nice answer here.

    No stupid questions, right?

      You've got four reserve tanks. One at the bottom of each carb. Just kidding folks.

      It's not a silly question, but there are some bikes that have a reserve tank or sub tank, but they don't have a separate fill cap. None in the GS line that I know of, but Suzuki has done it.

        Yes, Interesting article. Funny in his mention of the mega super duper size drink and a short straw I thought, why not just tip the cup, hahaha. Hey, the KLR was like that and you could actually tip it to the side getting a little more useable fuel. I'm not about to try that with the GS though. Once it starts to lay over it says goodnight and it's harder to wake up!
