RE: F2 Gas mileage? MPG and Range
Mines a little over 3 gallons and I'm only seeing slightly over 30 MPG. I start to run out of gas at the 110 mile mark. I have a Vance and Hines slip on, a UNI filter, and possibly a jet kit. This is still not right though...I need to find out why the mileage sucks!

RE: F2 Gas mileage? MPG and Range
Fuel capacity for the F2's is 4.2 gallons which includes a .9 gallon reserve.
Last weekendI rode my F2 from Northern California to Southern California, about 523 miles one way down I-5. My speed was with the flow of traffic, usually 85-90 mph, and jaunts up yo 115 mph. I had saddle bags, a tank bag, and a back pack and me, so maybe 300 ponds on the bike.
I got between 47 and 51 miles per gallon excpet when I crossed the tehachapi's and faced a nasty head wind and elevations of 2800 feet, then I got a measly 33 mpg.
For the most part, I commute on this bike and get 50 mpg or more with a yoshi slip on and a jet kit,using 87 octane fueland running the stock Honda Air Filter after tossing the junk UNI filter that I bought last year. I have 44,000+ mileson my bike.

I will never get anywhere close to 4 gallons in my tank let alone just over three...or maybe I just fill too early when I see it's close to the bottom of the tank... I have never been able to put in over three gals.

That's funney FNQuick. From your picture, your tank looks just like mine does as it sits on the bike. I put well over 3 gallons in mine all the time though. Huh????? I'm mystified....

16L tank, I usually fill up at around 170-180km. Milage works out to about 40mpg
I'm also having some issues with my carbs, which I need to get sorted. Then the milage might imporve a bit...maybe not, cause I think it is just sticking floats.
