I'd been getting about 40 mpg without the Dart Flyscreen, but it jumped up to almost 50 with it on. I can't give the screen all the credit; my mileage measurements before the trip were 60/40 city/highway. On the road I'm pretty sure I could go 200 miles on a single tank.
BUT, the damn fuel gauge still drives me nuts! There is no excuse for it being so wildly inaccurate...flashing red/reserve when there's over 2 gallons left.
That is strange, when i fill up at flashing red it always takes about 2.8 to 3.0 that would be about a gallon left in the tank.
The tank holds 4.9 gallons, so you've actually got 2 gallons left. That's more than what I think of as a typical reserve amount. Obviously with the odometer you can work around the problem, but it's still disappointing. I demand PERFECTION!!
I've read 2 reviews of the bike that mentioned inaccurate fuel gauges, and shortly after getting the bike I posted this thread:
