Any where between 140-155 on average before light comes on, I have pushed it as far as 170 to 180 plus before getting gas well after the light came on but I was almost out when I filled up doing that. Depends on how I have been riding on that tank of gas.

I only get 100-115 miles out of mine before the light comes on... Hmm do I ride that hard or is it my exhaust screwing with my mileage.

I guess it depends where you ride too. I think what screws mine up is all the big speedbumps on backroads here making you slow down and accellerate like you are in stop and go traffic. That and the city riding I do. I'll have to take a long highway trip in the low range of 6th gear and see what I get.

I get around 65 - 70 before my light comes on. Doh! lol.

So the more important question... How long do we have after the light comes on, to pushing it home?! 1 gallon right? So about 35 miles?

I have a feeling I should add a 1 gal reserve bottle to my bike somewhere lol. I might find my self walking more than riding this season.

I get about 115-125 if riding the canyons and around 150 regular street riding. I haven't run out of gas when the light comes on, but I'm sure I've gotten close.On another thread,other guys said you can go between 25-30 before you totally run out. Once I get near 110, I fill up as I don't wanna do a Wild Hogs and have to push my bike.
