OK, that's kinda what I figured. I guess the computer is reducing fuel to keep the mixture right, so you are using less gas...here at sea level, there's plenty of air, so mine is pumping more gas.

-1/+2 gearing and custom map has my light coming on around 100 miles, unless it is all highway and then I get a bit more.

But I average about 100 miles between fill ups, and the bike is not running rich.

Yeah, that sounds just about what I'm getting....but then, I'm using your PCIII map for the Yoshi TRS...

How's the map running? It was perfect when I had the Yoshi pipe. I now have a custom map for the Two Bros slipon and stock air filter. I wish I could just upload it here and let anyone who wants it download it without me having to email it out to 50 people individually...

It's great. No complaints at all. I'm still grateful.

Saw the pics of your new 2 Bros. Boy, that is one nice looking pipe.

I'm right at sea level and I am always over 200km before the I get the warning. Usually at least around 220km (137 miles)

On a side note, how much gas is left when the light goes on?

My max is usually 150 maybe 160 on a good day. I commute 60 miles a day though and its all Freeway driving so I guess that helps my MPG. The bike is pretty much stock (no exhaust no PCIII)

I have no idea how you guys are getting 150-160 miles/tank. If I break 115 i'm happy. Do you guys ride around in low RPM's all the time? I'm riding around at 7000-85000 RPM. I've even gone a whole tank full keeping my RPM's under 11K to see if that would help. It didn't.

I should carify: My low fuel light comes on around 105-115 miles, but I'm only filling up 3.5-3.8 gallons. Which equals around 31 Miles per gallon.
