    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

i have a 1985 gs450L, how many miles should i get before running empty ya think?
 
How about helping us out and telling us how big the tank is? The info is in the factory service manual. BTW, your bike should get at least 50 mpg.
 
straight from the manual:

Capacities

Liters - 11
US Gal - 2.9
Imp gal - 2.4

Dont know if it matters but this is the manual I got off Bikecliffs website (middle section, 3rd link down) http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/, says its for 77-87 450's, doesnt specify 450L but none the less 450 neway.....Not the same or good?

Is it recommended to size up? And if so what other changes need to be made to do so? :confused:

Hi,

I would just ride what you've got. Stay within 100-120 miles of a gas station. To install a larger tank would take modifications to the frame's tank mounts, bolt holes, the new tank's mounting tabs, etc. All that trouble may not be worth it to you.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
