    this is my first bike, and i just got it on the road and just got to the half tank mark (on the guage), so before i find out the hard way miles away from a gas pump......

    will the second half of the tank go quicker than the first half? or is the fuel guage setup to read according to capacity rather than level? i ask because the first 4 inches is significantly more fuel than the last 4, being that the back bone cuts into the bottom of the tank. :?:

    The fuel gauge on my Seca never worked correctly and I couldn't rely on it.

    Eventually, I disconnected it and know that I should fill up when I get near 150 miles on a tank or when I have to switch over to reserve.
