  1. I swear I have looked , and looked again , trying to find a straight up answer to my question, but unfortunately I have not been able to find anything. 2003 Blackbird, and looking to buy spare light bulbs just in case the ones I have on burn up. Somebody please send me a short reply and advise me on the purchase. What is the exact part number for the Silverstar bulb for both, low and high beam ? is it a H7 or an H4? Is it a single filament or dual filament? Is it a three connector base or a two connector base. Any input is greatly appreciated as I am extremely confused right now!

  2. I ran out on the hwy once. Shook the bike to slosh the gas around, continued at 55mph for another 8 miles.... and started running out again while exiting the ramp and barely rolled right into the gas station next to the open pump. :icon_biggrin: Whew!! :icon_redface:

    I confirm, 6.03 real usable gallons on the 99+ FI bikes.

    Now, do you remember where the low gas indicator started to blink? And how many miles you had when you made it into that gas station? Impossible questions,aren't they?

  3. According to the owner's manual, fuel quantity for the FI bird is 6.08 gallons. I was once in

    the Sierra with my wife as pillion, a long way from gas with the low fuel indicator blinking.

    I was really worried I'd run out of fuel before I could reach a service station. I was doing

    things like turning off the engine and coasting when going down hill, real easy on the throttle,

    etc. I reached Bear Valley without running out and the tank took 5.6 gallons. So, you can

    run it down at least that far without running out.

    So, even if the low fuel display starts blinking/flashing, there's still another 1.6 gallons in the tank. That is basically the reserve that gives the rider between 45 and 60 more miles, depending on the mpg.

    The manual calls for 6.08 gallons for a full tank! Thanks for all the replies.
