After having a 40 mile ride on this last tank I filled up and this time I was able to get 103 miles and when I filled up it was 2.6 gallons. Now that works out to be roughly 39 mpg...
HOWEVER, I don't think I filled it up as far as I should have as after only 2 miles the gauge dropped a bar already! So I pop the tank and look, in a better lit area, sure enough I am well below the bottom of the filler neck. So maybe I didn't put enough gas in, which only makes it worse..
Hoping for a good long season and plenty of time getting away from the family so I can ride. Only thing my 3 year old son wants me to hang out with him more and go fishing. I need to get to that magical 2000 mile point when things are broke in and settled down so I can get better mileage!!
