2013 CB1100 MPG

[_imp]

Well maybe I can get you to figure this higher math for me cause lord knows I don't want to make a laughing stock of myself...

I filled the bike up...drove 142 miles. It hadn't gone to flashing reserve yet. I pulled into a gas station and refilled the tank and it took 2.5 gals to refill

On the very next tank the flashing reserve light came on at 142 miles. I drove and additional 29.4 miles for a total of 171.4 miles and refilled the tank and it took 3.1 gallons to fill.

Both times filled on the sidestand to the same level in the neck of the tank.

So please...you do the math for me and tell me what kind of mileage I am getting.

My bike suffers the exact same symptoms as reported by
ALL the motorcycle mags.One mag even goes into detail
explaining how nutty the fuel gauge acts.
Like before one even hits 100 miles,the bike is flashing red.
My bike does likewise.When I bought the bike I couldn't
believe what that infernal gauge was talking about.I kept thinking
the dealer probably had about a gallon and a half in it.
I took the bike out today for around 20 miles and had the
trip odometer set from the last time I fille it.
The trip odometer read 46 when I started today.It was at the
2nd bar.It went to one bar in about a few miles.It went back a couple times to 2 bars then stayed at one bar the rest of my ride.
Which should have meant it has a solid gallon plus left.
A blinking red flasher means the bike is on reserve and has
.9 gallon left.So explain to me how I have one bar at 52 miles
an am supposed to have according to you another 100 Miles
Plus,left in the tank.
Do not fret y'all.The M109 is almost exactly as bad.
The fuel gauge stays at full and then once it drops down
does so very quickly.meaning the gauge basically does not
calculate when the tank is truly half full.Just full and very
near empty.At least according to the gauge.The entire middle
area of fuel { half a tank } reads very quickly.Which is the
opposite of what you want.
