Just echoing what everyone else says about the guage accuracy, but I have a red 2005 SEEG with an amber light (wish it was red)

[grc]

My low fuel light is more amber than red also.

No, you're not.

Amen on the "run away" feature.  Been there and done that.  Now, the master switch for the cruise gets shut off when I even guess there might be a town or city ahead.

You guys have my undivided attention now.  What's this about a cruise control 'run-away'?  Does it really happen and is there anyway to avoid it and still use the cruise control.  I've grown to really like that bugger and use it a lot!  But, I don't want that stroker motor to have a mind of it's own, either.  [smiley=nervous.gif]  spyder

Me too.

So, the amber light is a "low fuel" light.............

I thought it meant I was going to stop running in 3-5 miles!

Actually I never use the gauge, reset the "a" trip meter at every fill up and figure I need to fill up again before I hit 175 miles.

Most I put in my tank so far? 4.8 gallons.

Porthole, I'd guess that most of us are mile counters for fuel.  Seems that most here have been riding long enough to have not had fuel gauges so just learned that way.  Doing it that way means we don't have to care whether the gauge is accurate though (is that a benefit of being old?).

You get 175 miles on the 103?

My fuel light usually comes on around 130 miles and I might get 145 out of it.  I think one time I got 152 on this bike.  Although, they just found a small leak in my fuel line when they replaced my valve guide seals.......so I'll see what I get now.

JC, at 175 miles, mix of highways and byways I put in between 4.2 and 4.5 gallons on average. My mileage varies between 38 (mostly city) to, so far, a high of 43 on the highway, doing about 75.

2Lane, ah yep, been counting the miles since I had my 2.2 gallon sporty. Although with only 2 gallons I ran out of gas more often then I care to remember.

But did you do this?  If I ran out of gas once I too often then ran out again on the next tank.  Too addled or pissed off after pushing the bike the first time to remember to switch it from reserve back to fuel before taking off and leaving the scene of the stupidity.
