I assume it is the Same Technic as the R9t series. So this is the only and very First Video that Shows how it works. Thanks a lot for this good explanation 👍
It was a minute ago that we knew we were low on fuel when we’d lose power, so we’d reach down to a fuel line lever that switched over to reserve. We calculated in our head how many miles we had on a tank or on reserve.
@@BMWMOAorg Recently, the first time my tank went into Reserve, the warning came on and the figure on screen was “0.7”, then 0.8, soon 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 and so on. I have no clue what was going on. A fueling station was close so I took advantage to top it off. Thoughts?
I've just been lent one by a bmw dealership. I did a Steve mcQueen great escape and shook the bike and listened to the fuel slosh around. It's a bit odd that they didn't fit a fuel gauge.
MI A will be the Automatic Trip. As you said it resets to 0 after a period of inactivity. How many miles until empty for MI R would be much more useful, despite the inaccuarcy. My RT under estimates "mileage til empty". Not a bad thing.
I definitely agree with you on MI R *but* I understand why BMW does it this way. Imagine the nasty emails/phone calls/social media posts they'd get if Miles to Empty was at all inaccurate and somebody ran out of gas? This way they can say "hey, we all know MPG is dependent on a lot of variables and we don't guarantee 45 MPG, so you should get gas 20 miles after the warning comes on" and be covered. It's easy to get spoiled by all this technology ... I remember when bikes didn't have fuel gauges or tripmeters. You know it was time to get gas when the engine sputtered and you switched the petcock over to reserve ... unless you'd already done that and forgotten about it!!

I'm surprised BMW couldn't include a fuel gauge somewhere on that display tbh. No that's the wrong word. Disappointed is the right one.

Exelente.
Tendra algún vídeo de como activar la alarma anti robo ??

I think we all miss those days sometimes :)

@one_stoic_rider that sounds like my Harley where it counts up how many miles you've gone since the low fuel warning came on.
@@gcee1409 that's an interesting observation. however, this reading is counting up way too fast to be that.

A light that comes on is a type of fuel gauge... ;)
🎉Great information
