[QUOTE="Mcarver351, post: 1448820, member: 93216"] Next time you fuel your bike, top it off. Ride your bike the way you normally ride for 100 miles. Top it off again and record the the amount of fuel you put in the tank. Divide 100 by the gallons and that will be your accurate mileage. If the fuel gauge is showing empty and you only put 3 gallons in, you might have a bad sending unit. I have found my bike sips fuel on the open highway at cruising speed but guzzle it around town. I'm sure everyone on here knows why that is and that's the fun of riding a motorcycle. So many people buy a motorcycle thinking it is more economical than a car but those of us who have owned them all our lives knows that is not accurate, especially if you can't do your own maintenance. That is just what we use to tell our wives to justify our purchase. [/QUOTE]
