you guys are lucky to have a light.

my 95 is just a tap the tank and guess and if it starts to stumble then quickly switch over to the reserve and find a gas station. i had to switch over to reserve on my way up a large bridge on my way to work this morning. stalling out on a very tall "scenic" bridge with no shoulder and one lane each way is not my idea of fun.

 

you could have a fuel light too, they only cost around $8.999

 

you mean 8,999? ;P

i'll enjoy my 2,000 lightless tank.

on topic i get about 42mpg with mixed riding. haven't done any long highway cruises with the bike yet.

 

I don't go fast anymore. My username should be Volvodriver138 instead. I'll leave the Speeding to you young people. I'm over the hill now.[8D]Downhill and picking up speed!

 

i must be thrashing mine too then, i only get 110 or so till my light is on. 99.9% city driving. 2007 6r

 

it's all the stop and go. ive got the same bike but i do more freeway then city. so im getting a little better.

 

I wouldn't call it thrashing, maybe beating the peese out of it in a semi- controlled eviroment! stop, go, stop pin it, go pin it, stop rev it, take off slow then pin and tuck ect!

 

I dont wail on it THAT bad... in fact I think i have only seen the shift limiter light one time the entire 1600 miles I have on it. And well, I don't take off like a grandma and her 78' cutlass, but I dont leave every light like a bat out of hell either. I dont neccesarily try to go for the best fuel economy either though. 33-35mpg is still more than twice as good as I can get being the nicest possible driver in my gas-hogging SUV. :P Still I wish my range were a little better I guess I will just stop and chat with the locals more often when going on a trip.

 

Just kidding there jazz, only seen theshiftlight once at 13k. Just ride it like it ment to ridden that's all. It's all good fun if you use your head.
