Aprillia RS 50 Dashboard

So i have in my possession an Aprillia RS 50 2001(?) model.

And theres 1 problem. On the dashboard theres a MPH metre, rev counter and a temperature. How am i supposed to know how much petrol is in the tank? Is there anything i can buy that will tell me? I'm told the only way to know is when i run out while riding... no thanks.

I think it does have a fuel light, not had a proper look (silly me) thanks for the links i'll check them out

Fill up, set fuel tap to "on" and note the current mileage, run 'till you hit reserve (i.e. have to turn the fuel tap to "res") and again note the mileage. Head to a garage asap and from then on, top up before you're expecting to hit reserve.

Thanks for the advice i'll give that a shot. I've actually come down from a 125 with a gauge. I'd of never thought it would have been like this.

You what lol this is a 1st on Motors what was your reason for that.

What do you mean?

To expand on what i said i meant; My first bike was a Skyjet 125cc (don't laugh) and it had a petrol metre so i could easily monitor how much petrol i had. Now i've sold that and now have this Aprillia 50cc. I just thought a 50cc would be easier to maintain than a 125cc.

I haven't had it at full power yet, apparently it reaches 65 according to my brother. Acceleration is allot slower compared to the Skyjet
