 Headscratch Have just got an ST3 - and have been corresponding with another site - Ducati MS or something who gave me some useful advice but I wanted to say hi here too. Anyway, I went out on the ST3 today. And it does just gets better. However, having stopped for a while, the fuel reserve light came on - just before that, said that it had said I had 99 miles left. I ignored and drove another 22 miles. Could still only fit 16 litres in and the book says there is 21 litre capacity. Just when the range function on the trip computer would be useful it just blinks at you. Bizarre!  Headscratch

Ducati didn't spend a lot of research money on fuel guage accuracy ! Lol The Multi has become legendary for bad readings. Learn your range based on mileage, not your guage.

Just track it based on your mileage--the gauge is useless. I generally don't worry about it until I hit at least 200 miles, even though the light comes on at around 170 miles! Even at 220 miles, I still have close to a gallon of gas left to go.
