As far as I can tell, there is no reserve "tap" anywhere on the TA650 - The tank holds 19.5l and I usually get around 300km to a tank.
The other day, for the first time, at around 280km, the bike spluttered, slowed down but then recovered.
Luckily I wasn't too far from a petrol station so I just cruised the 2-3k's and got there.
On filling up, the bike took 18L - so is there there some sort of automatic "switch over" that happens when you get down to the last 1.5L?
Anyone ever run their 650 dry?
