It seems strange to me that no one has mentioned that CRUD could be at the bottom of the tank, which we don't want clogging the pick up.

Never had a problem w Japanese motorcycles on switching from main to reserve,
but on a past Harley; huge pain of kicking, and kicking, and kicking! Sweaty!

new (low miles) '75 FX 1200 Superglide.

I was just picturing Frank getting a green stick fracture to his leg, had his friend
needed to lock up the brakes for a dog or something.

PS. I love the idea of that perfect long tank mpg figure, but crud potential would always be in the back of my mind.
