I have a 2016 TRX500FE2 and was wondering how far it would go on fuel reserve? Also, I've never ran the fuel gauge "dots" below 1. How do you know when you have started on reserve fuel? Any help would be appreciated.

I don't think the newer models have a reserve since there is no petcock.

I have a 13 model foreman & if they're similar the gas segments or dots should start blinking that's when you know your on reserve now as how far you can go I've never tried to ride it on reserve lol

its a loaded question as HOW far can you go, depends on a too many variable's to give a accurate answer here
my suggestion would be, fill your tank FULL full, rid it for say 25 miles and take it to have it filled back up to the top,full full, and do the math, and that will get you a ball park on how far your going on a gallon of fuel

NEW atv;s do NOT have a reserve tank, most all only have a idiot light that shows on the display when they get to a certain point(guessing at about a half gallon or so)

I would think MOST modern ATV's have a MIN of a 40 mile range, pending HOW you drive it, some may go a lot father, but I think ALL will make it about 40 miles on a tank
its pretty easy these days to carry more fuel with you, if you travel far often?
