Mine comes on right around 120. But I have a +4 sprocket so that's off.

wow...the light usually comes on at 130-140 miles for me. I'm averaging 42mpg so far, and it's all in town riding.

Mine does around 40 ish i think dunno, my gas tank is odd. Ever 80 miles or so i put gas in and its like 2.3 gallons so it seems my gas tank has shrunk since it was made. Its a 94 so i dunno but still should be bigger lol.

Ran out of gas once when i frist got it, thought the gas tank was bigger then i thought it was. Went to 130 or so then would't start till i filled it up.

This has been asked again and again....


For me it depends on how I ride.... and that really does vary to be honnest

I just fill up when I reach 100 miles ridden I never run out of fuel that way :-)

Don't our tanks have 3.9 gallons until light comes on?

I refuel usually at 145. (light hits then most of the time)

And that's all in town riding......never get out of 2nd gear !!!!!!!!!!

Imagine if I ever get on the hwy and have a long straight-away. I'd top out at about 200 mph !!!!!!!!!!!

Might take me about 5 miles of road to do it though :-)
