As I have stated before, if after the time that it started reading miles left the ignition was turned off, and then turned back on again, it will or can confuse the computer and not be exactly accurate
in other word if it says you are out riding and it comes on and says you have 53 miles left and you ride it without stopping until it says 22 miles left it will be fairly accurate.
If however you are out riding, and it comes on and it says you have 53 miles left, and you continue to ride it for 10 miles and then stop somewhere and turn off the ignition. Then come back out and restart the bike and continue the ride, the computer gets confused by the interuption and can no longer be trusted to accurately predict miles left to empty.
At least that is what multiple members of the ST forum have found out about theirs over the years which uses a similar system.
