120 around town, 135-140 on trips. Not a good practice to let your tank run empty all the time. No matter what you think, there are always little bits of shit in gas and they all sink. After a while, there is a good chance you will start sucking them into the system. I fill up when the gauge starts to flash.

The fuel is also the coolant for the electric pump, as in EFI cars. Running it too low can overheat the pump and shorten lifespan.
I've had the bike for about 6 months and the F-trip on my bike comes on around 170 miles. I've taken it as far as 187 miles and haven't had to put more than 4 galons into the tank so that leads me to believe there's a good chance to stretch it to 200 miles. I've calculated the fuel mileage periodically and average just above 50 mpg. Of course the best mileage I get is the commute to work which is mostly highway at 75 mph+. Even when I go canyon carving here in AZ I seem to get better mileage than all of you. Does the bike lose it's fuel mileage after an accumulation of high mileage?

Usually having too much fun riding to think about fuel economy... when its low i fill up and try to drain the tank as quickly as possible... its why i ride a bike... i usually claculate the amount of fun i am having as to how many times i have to fill up in a day, has been a couple of 4 tanks days, now those are days i got the most smiles per gallon
I'm looking at the first picture thinking what am I supposed to be looking at???
Then I think sneaky bugger when I see the second picture!
