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).

You talking miles or kilometres?

Miles =
Kilometres =

160 to 170 in town everytime. I ride it to work everyday it's not raining.
My fuel light comes on and about 10 - 15 miles later I run out of gas.
I have been just over 200 on the highway but I'm usually not letting grass grow under me feet sooooooo.

Re:Gas 4 Years, 10 Months ago  
Just rode in from Hot Springs tonight. 3.25 hours for 200 miles.

175 miles when the light came on.

188 miles when It went to reserve.

It was on .5 tank at the 100 mile mark.

I checked my Pilot setting before I left and it was 1.5 turns out.
The bike runs soooo damn good now.

Re:Gas 4 Years, 9 Months ago  
Last weekend 261 mile round trip 2 up bad head wind coming back running 70-80+. Light came on around 175 got 46.5 mpg. Yes I've tricked out everything not much left stock. Run like a scalded cat now with the Dyna 3000, home made baffles for K2's, ported stock manifold, 172.5 main, e-clip 3 with two washers, pilot 37.5 PMS who knows it changes from time to time, seems like the hotter the weather the better it runs. AND no SVS!
