I have actually never checked this. I never emptied the tank yet for the
year I have had the RD04.

I normally use the tripmeter to check for petrol and fill up after about 300
to 340 kms. I get in about 16 to 20 litres so I'd say I'm pretty safe yet.
But if it's an easy fix, why not fix it...

On a sidematter, my fuelconsumption is about 6.6 litres per 100 kms....
(mostly commuter traffic).

Cheers
Matz

After about  50 tkm I have had the same problem with my RD04.  Sometimes
the yellow light works, sometimes not, the red one seems be OK all the time.

Yes, I have got also RD04 with same problem. The yellow light works not
allways as it should, but I don't care, because the red turns on when there
is about 5 litres petrol left. Normaly there is gas station near enough...

By the way, how much your RD04 can take petrol? Honda manual talks about 24
litres, but my bike's record is 25,5 litres and there was a little bit
still left, because the machine was working.
