Default 85 miles per TANK?!?!?!

Is it me or does that really sound ridiculous?!? I filled up on Thursday night and reset the tripometer and it says 85.7 miles and the gas light came on. I got an 03 636. Any ideas? It has a K&N air filter and I just "recharged" it today with the recharge kit thing. Oh, and I got the Micron slip on. I also changed the oil and filter and did a coolant flush today. HELP!

Don't beat the hell out of your bike. Keep both wheels on the road. Get better gas
