All you guys that keep the tank more than half full to "keep the pump immersed for cooling" - are you the same ones that don't use the blinker light so you don't wear it out prematurely?

If it's stolen, it won't go far.I'd be interested in hearing 1 pro of running near empty, I can name plenty of cons!
The Distance To Empty is calculated by the PCM based on the accumulated value of the current MPG since the last reset. The DTE constantly updates and is a projection only.I just quickly read this subject
The only thing that you can almost trust is the fuel gauge
The miles Until Empty can not be trusted
for instance if it reads 30 miles until empty & you break over the top of a steep hill, the reading will change to 99.
If you are on flat ground & doing 80 miles per hour & then you bring your speed up to 90, the calculator that figures out the miles until empty, that reading will drop or raise with speed & rpm
IT is only guesstimated
That's another good one!If it's stolen, it won't go far.

Those cut-offs do not exist anymore since many years ago...There was no reserve? It's been a long time since I rode, but the fuel cut off could be turned the other direction to access a lower pick up in the tank. It was typically called a reserve tank, but that was a misnomer as it wasn't actually a second tank.
BingoIt took me a minute too ...
The town, if you can call it that, was named 'Red House'.
Apparently that faded red board was all that could identify the town's namesake.
They still exist in some applications. My daughter has a 1 year old 90cc four wheeler. It has a carb, and the valve to shut off fuel, turn fuel on, and reserve to get ya back home if you run out of fuel in the normal on position.Those cut-offs do not exist anymore since many years ago...
