+1, when my light comes on I can put between 4.9 and 5.0 gallons in, just depends on far I drive with the light on and the countdown running.

Mine reads empty well before the light comes on, and the light comes on with around 1.4 gallons left.

Sounds just like mine. My monster ovals have a loud bass sound for the rider to the point I'm concerned about my hearing. Do you have any problems? The sound is just fine several feet away from the bike, but on the seat, boy!

My '09 Ultra is fairly accurate and when it gets to empty, the fuel light comes on and I have 1 gallon left. Much more accurate than the '03.
