You should be getting 40 mpg plus. 140 miles per tankful during normal riding before the low fuel light comes on. 160-165 miles on a tankful before you run out. It'll be a lot less if you're riding really hard in the twisties and accelerating hard. Probably around 80 mptf.

i usually got bout 140ish miles to a tank before the light comes on....and then i still have another 1.5 gallons in there usually


Oh and if you just picked her up from the stealership...atleast around here they dont fill them up so that could be why

so they didnt even test ride your guys bikes before you bought them ? mine has 2 miles on it and a full tank. i guess they fill them up and run it through the gears and make sure its all good before you take it.
