I'll just figure 4 gallons and do my math from there.

Also bear in mind two liters remain on the right side of the frame tube hump after the reserve is used. In order to access this fuel, you have to remove the tank and tip it over to the left, or lay the bike down on it's left side to spill the fuel to the petcock. So in essence you only have 15 liters of fuel.
You're joking right?

Not really. Years ago I ran out of gas and had to push my bike aboiut 1/2 mile to the next gas station. I was getting really tired pushing that 465Ib bike . Just for the hell of it I tried starting it and it started! I hopped on and was able to ride it to the next station. I figured out that while I was pushing the bike it was leaning at an angle towards me and fuel was draining to the left side allowing enough gas to start and run. So yes, some gas remains on the right side when the left side runs empty!
