TERRIBLE gas mileage - this one's different. promise.
My cbr has always got about 90-100 miles till the reserve. that's about 33mpg. I am pretty hard on it with accelerating. It just makes me happy. haha anyway, Thats pretty bad, but leagues better than my truck. Well, yesterday I filled up. Set the trip meter, and the light came on at 51 MILES?!?! that's absolute garbage... I would have thought FPR, but the bike shows no other symptoms.. Any ideas?

But even putting premium in is not going to affect it that much.
Now that the tank is full, you need to monitor this.
If you let your bike warm up properly before you go, how far you ride makes a difference too. For example, my commute in college was 3 miles each way. So, if I didn't have a real ride during that time, I was only getting about 90 miles to the tank. But when I'd take long spirited rides, I'd be back to 120 or so before the light came on. That's a substantial difference, and it was due to how much time the bike was running and heating up without the odometer ticking.
Now that you know the tank is full, lets see what happens. And you're sure the bike is running normally and that there isn't a fuel leak?

I feel so bad for you guys. The only time I've ever had my light come on at 110miles is when I ride to a canyon and use it as a track running lap after lap. I wonder why the massive difference in gas mileage. Anyone ever do compression or leak down tests on their motors?
My compression should be fine... Unless sitting up hurt it. It only has 2500 miles..
