Does the 2009 heritage softail classic have a reserve. I don't seem to be getting good fuel economy.

 

What are you basing your fuel economy on? Your fuel light or the actual amount of fuel to fill your tank when the fuel light comes on.

 

Haven't seen you for a while buddy....you break your trolling rod?

 

When my gas light comes on, it's around 30-35 miles. BUT...when I fill it up, I usually put in 3.5 gallons or so. With a 5 gallon tank and getting 45 mpg average, something's not right.

 

so. What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

 

How much has it dropped?
And no, there is no reserve on an EFI bike. Read your owner's manual.

 

if you are getting 45mpg, that sounds about right. are you doing the math to figure mpg ( miles ridden since last fill divided by gallons the next fill) ?

 

Personally, I wouldn't go by the fuel light coming on in determining your fuel economy. Do it the old fashioned way, it's much more accurate. Just out of curiosity, how many mpg are you getting?

 

Better early than late.

 

My idiot light comes on sometimes when the gauge reads 3/4 full. I don't trust the gas gauge and use the trip meter. When trip meter reads about 200 miles, time to fill up.
