I get 250 KM before light comes on. But for me, the werid thing is aroudn there, the light would come on and off.

Maybe you are doing a lot of city driving or doing some *cough "a lot of trying to get going quickly?

I am talking miles, not KM...200 miles on 4 gals is good, 150miles is when I do alot of stop/go or keeping the rpms high. I usually do interstate 80% of the time cause I drive it to work and get around 200miles.

is the light coming on and there is still plenty of gas? or is it using more gas than usual?

When I first got my bike 2000 F4, I carried around a gas can with about a half gallon in it for over 2 days after the fuel light came on. It totally depends on how you ride, so I would say I was riding moderate (because after all, I just got the bike... had to feel the power at nearly every stop light...). Ran out at 205 miles. And that is EMPTY. The light came on around 145 believe it or not. I guess it should be noted that I have different gearing, but I don't have a speedohealer, so these numbers are a bit higher than normal.

yeah you should be gettin at least 200km... i usually get 240+ but i don't ride it too hard. I always just reset my trip on the odometer and go off of that because i know the km's and i can just fill up as i get close to that

it was just riding around town, not on a trip or anything. and i didn't want to just burn gas for no reason, so i rode it around doing what i needed to do and let it run out on it's own.
