    I went to another pump, and they put in almost 11.9 lts! This is the second time I've had the pump guy fill in 11+ lts. I didn't visit the first pump again, as I thought I'd been cheated, but here I saw the guy pumping in the fuel.
    Was he overfilling? Or was the gauge rigged? Or do these machines have some way to show me zero, but not actually reset?

    The tanks capacity is 12 lts, and I hadn't hit reserve yet, so I'm sure I was conned, but I don't know how yet.
    I filled in 12.62 litres in to a empty tank on my gixxer(i filled up to the brim) . The pump was indian oil at outskirts of my city. I was not sure if they had rigged their pumping metres or may be the gixxer tank itself is a lil bigger than mentioned

                Always fill fuel post hitting reserve. Reset the trip meter and calculate your previous mileage. Also note, there are some fuel residue about .2-.4 liter unusable. The reason is unless you use your credit card, filling fuel upto brim seems impatient (esp for change) at many gas station. And by the way, most of the bikes fuel gauge does not work proper unless you position the vehicle almost perpendicular. Avoid looking at the fuel gauge and rather learn to feel when the bike hits reserve.

                  How do you come to know that the bike has hit Reserve??
                  I'm still a novice. :P

                    Replace the switch.. All the Gixxers and Gixxer Sfs are having this fault.. Its a shame how Suzuki is ignoring this issue

                      When you are about to hit reserve, the bike will start to show some jerks (Forward and backward movement), but not risky. You can slowly get to left and within few more meters, you can feel the jerk more and can feel the bike engine is running out of fuel and will struggle to speed up on opening throttle.

                      For the few times, it might make you afraid. But the bike won't stop all of a sudden. It will slowly slow down. Within few such experience you can practice well. ALso use the fuel indicator, lets say when it starts to blink, you can expect the bike to hit reserve maybe in about <10 KMs

                              Free service cost around 550 bucks, additive is not required, where are they filling the additive?? Before or after Mobil change??
