Use the regular ol' 86 or 87 octane stuff. It'll run better AND you'll be eliminating one of the possible culprits in SVS. Which, by the way, doesn't really exist. Just ask Yamaha. Hell, they might even answer &quot;Road Star?

I seem to be averaging right around 125 miles and that seems really low to me...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #33466 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Gas 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Yes, it's a bit low. Looking a your pic, you have some mods so the carb is probably set up a bit on the rich side. doc   Logged     My Bike Website   The administrator has disabled public write access. #33500 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:Gas 4 Years, 10 Months ago   My gas light comes on at approximately 151.6 miles (as high as 172 as low as 132). Running completely stock on a 2005 Silverado 1700. Hope that helps.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #33503 cass (User) If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

All stock '06 R* Silverado Midnight. 90% riding 8 miles to work. No long trips to compare. I'm betting 45+. 2-up I'm sure would be less. Don't know. Maybe if I buy the Russell pillion seat for my wife, I can tell you more later. Stay tuned, it might be a Goldwing you hear in my future.   Logged     '06 R* Silverado Midnight.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #33623 Gunner (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 88 Re:Gas 4 Years, 10 Months ago   Nasum My Light comes on at 152 I run out and swich to reserve at 162 and I can strech out to 175 (by this time I'm starting to sweat so I've never gone beyond). I've got a Forcewinder air cleaner and custom straight pipes.   Logged     Gunner   The administrator has disabled public write access.
