My new RIII, 1400 miles. I ran out of gas this morning after only 117 miles of driving on what I assumed to be a full tank. Of course, I'm still waiting on Triumph to approve a new tank float part to correct the famous fuel light /guage problem.
I managed to limp to a gas station and the tank took only 4.6 gallons. So either a) the CA Bureau of Weights & Measures miscalibrated the gas pump; b) the tank was not really full when I thought so at last fill-up; c) I didn't really fill the tank this time, even though it appeared that gas was at the lip, or d) my tank doesn't really hold 6.6 gallons.
Or what else??
Does anyone have a similar experience or any ideas?
