No, it would not be easy.

When you're riding and the engine splutters and tries to die, switch it to reserve (it's marked on the tap, left hand rear under the tank)
It should happen at around 200kms from full tank and you will have 3L left in the tank

You could also carry a wooden stick, pop open the fuel cap, and dip it in to measure the fuel level.

It could be done ... for about 20% of the GN's value. Easier to pop the cap and look. Cheaper too ...

Reset the trip meter at each fill. At 180 km's ... start looking for gas. But if you have got on reserve ... at best you have 50 km's

Had a mate with a TR2, had a very accurate stick in the old numbers

Yes it is possible. You can get an aftermarket fuel float, sender unit and guage. The cost would be around $1200, about equal to value of your bike, and it would reduce the fuel tank capity by about 1 litre.

But not nearly as accurate as the wooden stick.

I remember hearing of a rider (many years ago) ... used to carry a marked stick to suit his bike. He carried the stick under the strap midway down the top of the seat. He once had an "off" ... and in the ensuing tumble ... the stick ended up his bum.


But all was ok ...

As (when they pulled the stick out) ... apparently .... he still had two Gallons left ...

This is also one of the best ways to measure fuel level in a Cessna 172! Real flash guys have one of these:

I don't go as fast as a Cessna 172.

So I just look at MY fuel gauge. and my low fuel warning light.


But my trip meter tells me more ...

I have two hyperactive fuel lights that come on when I have 6L left, very, very angering at night

I have heard ... White insulation tape over those reduces that issue considerably.

Many years ago my brother in law had a CB750 to which he added an aftermarket fuel cap which incorporated a fuel guage worked by a float and (IIRC) chain.

Possibly something similar exists (or could be adapterd) to a Ginny
