    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.

Dont know if this is readily available information but I couldnt find it so I thought I would share.

For the first time after installing a pingel fuel valve over a year ago I hit reserve. I have a 1982 Suzuki GS750 E which according to Clymer has a 5.0 gallon tank. Reserve was at 3.5 gallons.

I get between 40 and 45 MPG regularly so I would have been safe for another 40 miles ish without getting to nervous.

I replaced the stock petcock on my '79 GS1000E with a Pingel about 20 years ago. My bike also holds 5 gallons and hits reserve with approximately 1 gallon remaining. It's been the same with the stock petcock and the Pingel.
If I was riding on a long uphill or downhill, that would effect when it hits reserve.
