Thanks for your replies.

I'm having a similar issue, only I think my fuel gauge is actually working correctly. Stock my bike got about 30 mpg's on the freeway. I've added an S/E air cleaner, V&H shortshots a PCV and Autotune. The last three trips were the same distance and all freeway miles. The light comes on at 70-72 miles and I fill the bike to the top at 75 miles and it takes 2.8 gallons. That's just under 27 mpg's on the freeway! It's worse than my bmw! I'm sure if I take the bike into the dealer they are just going to say it's the aftermarket stuff, but it has been this way since day 1. I only have about 800 miles on it, but I highly doubt that mileage is going to improve much after it's fully broken in.
