I fill my tank all the way to the top in my 1999 Kat 600. I get about 120 miles before I fill it up. I get gas when the needle gets to the top of the red. When does the regular tank run out of gas? I was under the impression that it's typically around where the red line starts, so I fill her up then. I haven't had to use the reserve yet. Around 3 gallons of gas have been filling it up, so I'd imagine I can still ride at least another 40 miles or so before needing the reserve.

Well , over the weekend I was lost in Ohio somewhere and ended up pushing my luck by not filling up when I shoulda . I ended up getting 175 miles on one tank , then needle was BELOW the red , and when I filled up it took 4.8 gallons . That was almost a VERY bad day . However , my 750 doesn't get great milage in the first place (better than 35 is good for me) , so your milage may vary .

Crusing at about 6K-7K rpm in 6th on the freeway draining the tank completely my 90' Kat can go for about 300km(185miles) usually need to fill up around the 210-240KM mark(14-16L of 20).
Longest i've ridden yet on one tank is 288Km and used 18.2L of fuel 15.82 Km/L or around 37Mpg
Found out milage varies quite a bit though, can be as low as 11.5Km/L or up near 20Km/L all depends on how aggressively you ride-= Har du styr på lortet, eller lort på styret? =-

I wouldnt' push 170 miles on the tank all the time actually. Good thing about the Kat is a gas gage, so no need to really mess with number much.. It hits the red, you fill it up...
I still remember the one time I had to flip to reserve on the Kat (I did it almost ever tank on the Seca), but it was after my 600 mile service, on the way home, and all I see is the oil light go on while going down hill... I'm all, OH S__T they didn't get teh plug in or something, and my bike is fried! Just then I look at the gas gage and see it's empty and sigh a huge releif as I thumb the tank to reserve, tap the starter and it was well..--
