No, gas gauge has always been fine, although when it gets near the bottom I actually have pretty nearly a gallon left -- okay with me, margin of safety. Other gauges also fine, only minor problem is the trip odometer, hardly a big deal since the regular odometer works fine. I'm around 4100 miles on that one now. Maybe it'll refuse to roll over too when I finally get to 100,000 miles ... ?  yes your right mine is the same an I filled it up today 2 gallons goes to about 3/rd of a tank,an the other gallon an a half goes to full,so the reserve ,seems to be more then 1,5 Liters ,like the book say ,I guess I also feel no need to fill it all the way the vent works though ,for me a half tank to 3/4ths is all I will ever need ,simple couse for now staying close to home ,soon next few weeks first trip to keene 30 miloes round trip ,intil then some short trip around town ,I am going to take my scooter to a tires place an have them replace the valves an re balance the tires about 15 each ,but worth it to me ,yes the reserve holds a lot of gas |

You're lucky if you found a regular "tires place" that will do it; I checked several around Tucson and they all made the anti-Dracula sign when I asked about doing anything with scooter tires. Several said their tire equipment is only for cars and tends to bend the rims on cycle/scooter tires.
As to gas tank/fillup, everybody's situation is different. Tucson sprawls for 50 miles east to west, so very seldom do I go on a run and come home with less than 50 miles, usually closer to 80. Which explains ~4200 miles after ~nine road months.
