Useable fuel capacity, with 70 Deg subframe

For anyone interested, yesterday I ran my bike until it ran out of fuel. I could still see fuel in the subframe, but not much. Whatever quantity that was, is unuseable. I was about a mile from the truck, and borrowed about 14 ounces of gas from a buddy. That would be one Keystone light beer can full nearly to the top...I then went to a gas station and filled up both the subframe and the main tank. I got 2.95 gallons total. I figure I had just under .10 gallons in there from the beer can.

So total, useable capacity on MY 09 FE 450, with 70 Deg. subframe fuel tank = 3.05 gallons.

Still unsure of range, due to recent cutbacks my odometer only works part time these days.
