            Ripping to 100km/h in a very small stretch of road and shifting down gears is insane man!

                But the zma's tech specs show that the reserve is 2L. I am able to do 50-60kms after I hit reserve before I dry up but my mileage is around 35 in the city.

                The best way to check your mileage would be to add a litre of fuel after you hit reserve, switch to main and then see how far you can go till you hit reserve again.

                    Isn't there something called "usable reserve" ?

                      Me too think so,As per company,reserve is 2ltr,I think usable reserve is only 1.5 or 1.7Ltrs Not sure though...

                          • Just called up couple of car accessory shops, one from JC road, another one near RT nagar in Bangalore. Both quoted around Rs 900 for a pair of Philips Xtreme Power H4 60/55W bulbs , and the guy from JC road shop says Xtreme Power bulbs replaced(?!) Xtreme Vision bulbs and offer 100% more longevity (yes, not intensity but 100% better life. I wonder if he really meant the same or not.) And quoted approx Rs. 800 for single Osram nightbreaker bulb. Wondering what should I do.

                            Details please, even I want to convert mine to LEDs (and want to save as much money as possible, Rs. 160 sounds great ).

                                i think it depends on who you ask ..Honestly i don't know.some say 1.5 L some 2 L..when your bike hits reserve, drain the tank petrol on main stand into a 2 liter bottle and then pour it back using a measuring jar.
