Default Gas milage

I filled up and reset my milage reader and i ran it until it started to show signs of cutting out(hesitation), i only got 85-90mi full tank???? Is that good??
I have a Jet-kit Stage 1, -1+2 gear set up, and a slip on. I got mycarbs tuned, and synchedwith the jet kit allat the same time, but i didn't have the slip-on installed, the mechanic said it wouldn't matter much, just not toride it w/o a slipone cuz it will mess up the valves.
Would nothavin the slipon installed while getting tuned make a difference in the end. would the performance bedifferent if tunedw/ or w/o exhaust. i just thought that i should be getting way better gas milage even with the upgrades. anyone know what up? appreciate it.

seems way low. I get about 120 before I have to switch to reserve and I'm told thats low. I dont know whats in my carb as its been through 3 owners before me, but it has exhaust and a K&N on it.

Yeah, I get 120-130 miles before I have to go to reserve. Should be getting 150, but I mess around too much, plus the bigger jets probalby isn't helping any.

anything over 140 mileage is regular thats with a mixture of street riding n highway cruising . on a full tank on the highway you can get about 180 and above .

should you always switch to the reserve before you fill up again? i see everyone saying they do that.

What do you mean by broke?? i may be able to help fix it...mine was spinning freely whenever i revved it would go nuts. I found out that theres this thin 1/16" piece of plastic that broke, i went in there, superglued(solves everything...period) it and it works like a charm.

everyone says they get 120, but does that include having a jet kit, and the gear change -1+2, even though it says your getting 120 isnt it less cuz of the gears? im not sure how much off but i thought it was just like the speed, that goes off when gears are changed. but i definitly feel something is wrong with my bike, it feel reealy fast, im going to take it to the shop to get valves adjusted can anyone recommend andything else to be looked at to improve bike.
