I've not got out yet for a ride this year. But if and when I do I hope to be out all day and likely go further, longer well away from my supplies.
I was out once years ago and the LOW OIL light came one. I probably had 30+ Km to go to get home via the bush trail. I don't know how much oil is in the tank when that light comes on or what the tanks capacity is.
Does anyone know how much oil is left on the warning light activation or the tanks capacity. I've not carried oil with me before as its never been an issue. I did stop and look with an light and could see some oil near the chassis so I new I was not running dry but. It's a situation much like a low fuel light (in a car). How far can I go? OR How much oil is there left out of the total tank?
I plan to take an used 1 litre auto oil bottle filled with 2 cycle in my rear tool storage just in case.
I think this would be useful information for various model for long distant riders which I am not but having had it happen once is enough not to ignore.
