153 Miles
Guys i just don't know what else to try.I fill my bike all the way the rim with gas using 93 octane and my milaege goes to only 153 miles before the gas light comes on.
I'm getting 31 mpg is this ok and if not please tell me what can i check to make this milaege better.

Have you pulled your plugs to see if the bike is running rich? getting any "decel" popping in the pipes? What kind of tuning has been done? 31mpg seems low to me unless your WFO all the time. I'd stand behind it while it was running and be looking for gas to be shooting out the pipes with mileage #'s like that.

Look for a clear plastic tube stuffed with 100 dollar bills rolled up and stuffed into your gas tank, takin' up a lot of room.

153 miles also
I was getting 37-38 mpg until I put a FuelMoto Power Commander V on. Then it dropped to 31-32mpg. I am on the 3rd map trying to get the mpg back to where it was.

What tuner do you have?
I get in the low to mid 40's with most riding. If I run the crap out of it, I can make it dip to about 38. If I really ease along and keep the speeds down, I can get nearly 50.

On my 05 EGC which is basically stock, I can go about 200 miles. Red light turns on about 180 miles. I get between 44-48 mpg so I'm happy.
