Just wondering if anyone's ever ran out of gas on their bike. I had a 2002 Ninja EX500 as my first bike and it had a carb on it. With a Reserve, Off and On switch.
Needless to say, it also didn't have a fuel gauge. So when I went home on the freeway after work the bike kept jerking back and forth, and the RPM's went down, so I opened up the throttle a bit more. Then I realized I had the throttle all the way open but was losing speed.
So I pulled over to see what was wrong, maybe it was the battery? I started it again, it went off fine. Then I tried to leave but it stalled out. Kept trying a couple more times off the side of the freeway, checked the kickstand etc...
Then I realized it must have been the gas! So I switched to reserve and got off at the next exit to fill up.
