depending on your mods and how you drive you should get about 140 to 180 to a tank.(atleast until the light comes on)

I usually get up to around 160 or so before the light comes on

Im taking your word on this one Gotrice lol....im pretty hard on and off the throttle so we'll see.

PS. I'll be taking RT90 from Buffalo to Massachusetts, sometime next week, so if I run outta gas and anyone sees me walking feel free to stop and help, or atleast honk n wave

I just recently took mine on a 350 mile one way trip. The only performance mod at the time was my pipe. My light came on at approx 150 miles (which in actual miles is probably more like 130ish), and that was with having some fun on the interstates. Which my *** was plenty ready for me to take a break come then as well.

ya about 150 is about right. i took my bike to a 500 mile trip one way and i was going about 80 - 90 mph. so about 150 on a full tank will do it. but i filled up every 100 miles just to be safe. ride safe.

Oops!! Yeah I forgot about the *** thing. I put on about 900 on my trip to canada. It might be me, but my *** hurt more on the highway VS. the twisties of RT219 on the way back. Is it just me or do other people think that way also?

I'm averaging anywhere between 160-170 before my light comes on, and have gone 25 on the light. I get on it from time to time, but I don't get crazy with it.
