What's up?
I was wondering how many miles you guys get on a tank before the fuel warning light comes on? I have been getting around 130 which seems like there might be something wrong. I have a 2 bros full pipe, jetted, and 10,000 miles. Any ideas?

I guess I should have been more specific. 130 miles. Do you think that is a tuning problem or normal?

it depends on how you ride. i get about the same as you when i'm riding pretty hard. if i'm cruising i'll get alot more but cruising ain't easy on this monster.

around 130-150 miles seems to be normal for the 02.i usually get around 150.

125 to 160. It all depends on the amount of twist in the wrist.

On my 02, the gas light comes on at 104 and I'm still in my break in period. I did change to an aftermarket exhaust slip on and don't remember what the stock milage was.
