Mine has more than a gallon left when my light comes on.

You can't judge your mileage by that light. Get to know your bike and when the light comes on. You KNOW how much fuel the tank holds. How much did it take to fill it up? Knowing that number tells you how much you had left when it came on.

And yes, riding into the wind makes a big difference in mileage.

My 04 FLSTCI gets to about 150 and the light comes on, at that point I can only squeeze 3.5 or so in the tank, so it is a bit early, I figure 200 is safe. About 45-50 depending on my wrist.

Just emptied the first tank on my '10 Heritage. It looks like about 200 miles per tank.

Ya something must be wrong if my light came on at 90 miles then, maybe no baffles is making my fuel injected bike use so much gas??? I will be putting my brothers old Thunderheader on soon.

I only get 33 mpg, and am putting the SERT back on, and DYNO TIME. My 103 isn't that radical and i don't run the chit out of it that often.
