Just got my new SGS.....first tank fill up....got a nice message from the "imfowhatever" 29 miles to empty would you like to go to a gas station, i replyed "yes' thank you".....anyway I fill up 4.6 gallons of premium 93 octane gas....here's my question....i thougt I had a 6 gal gas tank how can i only put in 4.6 gallons ( i filled to the neck ) and have 25 miles left on the reserve....numbers don't add up unless I had 1.4 gallons left in the tank to go 29 miles.........humn....

 

It took mine about three tanks to level out. Now its spot on! Low level comes on at 37 MTE. I would give a few tanks and see if it gets better.

 

Give the bike a jiggle and let the air bubble out. Keep filling up and repeating.

 

I don't worry about it. I get almost 300 miles out of a tank. That's good enough for me.

 

+1 on this

 

I am from the don't pass gas school of thought. I normally stop every 100 to 150 miles to stretch, hydrate and while I am there, top off my gas. Its honestly something I never even think about. Even in the most out of the way places, gas stations are so frequent now that its not an issue at all anymore.

 

I'm with you! When I'm traveling any distance on the bike, I stop every 150-175 miles, grab some water to stay hydrated, stretch my legs, and top off the tank. Jump back on a and do it all over again. It's amazing how much that little break energizes you when running 500-600 miles a day.

 

I'm in the same boat. I stop every 2-3 hours to stretch, hydrate and top off my gas but as others have said, wait a few more times and the fuel remaining function will/should balance out.

 

Its a avg of mpg. if your on it hard mpg goes down.

as for me i ride with a friend that only gets 140-150 per tank when we rode from milwaukee wi to key west it was a nice break to stop.

 

Same here anywhere from 100 to 150 miles its time to stop and stretch and usually thirsty
