Y2K Problem on Hyper - Ducati.ms

AXE · May 25th, 2008, 7:14 pm

I had about 27 miles on my reserve fuel toaday and ran out of fuel just before I got to my house. The light came on about 4 miles before it usually does around 86 miles. I swore I would never push 25 on reserve, now I know the limits. I had to call the wife to bring a jug of gas out to rescue me. Even stranger................my odometer just hit 2000 miles when it ran out of fuel. I thought that Y2K bug was a hoax.

Out!

I always ride with a mouthful of fuel just in case!

I bet you don't get too many cavities!

Yeah, I fill my pockets too but it was gone when I went back in for it! Damn is sure does stink up the leathers.

Out!

By the way, that was with about 113 miles on the clock running some higher speed flats and several miles of nice twisties. I have the DP ECU, DP lid, DNA filter, and Zard slipons.

Out!

The good news is that you can just burn the gas smell out with a match, trust me it works.
