wtf!!!! i get like 100 mileson my stock '05 f4i before my reserve light comes on. oh yeah my bike just turned 8k miles yesterday and i'm going to take it in for the 8k mile service next week....hopefully that will make things a little better.
You must rod the **** out of your bike to get that crappy of mpg.lol
nah bro....just like cruising at speeds of around 80mph on highway. ive been commuting in heaving traffic but that shouldn't knock off 50 miles before my reserve comes on.

do you have a speedohealer or not? the different sprocket will set off the numbers too.

+1, I have a slipon/mapped pc and I can run over 150 miles before reserve, but I also have modified gearing throwing off my miles and miles per gallon.

I commute 80+ miles daily running 80+.I still get 130+ before reserve..Stock gearing (mileage checked against my gps -difference is only .2 miles every 150)
