I'm still in the break in period. I've been riding it back & forth to work. This is the absolute best communter bike I've ever ridden. It's light. It practically stands upright itself. It's a rocket. I traded a 99 1200C that I absolutley loved. It broke my heart to part with it. However, I saw an instant improvement in acceleration. The throttle is incredibly smooth. It breaks better. The transmission is a huge improvement. The downside..... I hate the clicking of whatever they had to do to meet EPA standards. Sounds like Jap Junk. With my old 1200C I got used to setting my tripometer everytime I filled up. I learned to start looking for a gas station at 100 miles and switching to reserve at 120. I do the same thing with the Nightster, even with the fuel light. That damn light comes on at about 75-80 miles. I typically have about 1 gal left. Does everybody else have similar experiences?

 

if everything is stock then plan on fillin up at aroundevery 100 miles. thats when your gaslight should come on. then you have an extra .9 gallons to go.enjoy the nightster i love it!

yeah right around 100 b4 it comes on ive gotten about 115 a couple of times

 

90 miles for me. Then I have to hit reserve.

 

That damn light comes on at about 75-80 miles. I typically have about 1 gal left.

 

115 you must be ridin like an old man! slow take offs and cruzin at 55. you get close to 100 when you ride it like you should

 

My light usually comes on between 90-95 miles, I know there is still fuel but I normally fill up by 105 miles.

 

man, my light comes on between 100 and 120km in the city. thats like 60-70 miles. on a good day i'll get about 130-140 on the highway. the longest i went on a tank was 208km, and by the time i got to fill it up, the tank was dry. Tell ya, the scariest thing on the road is a sign that says NO FUEL NEXT 205KM. Espessially 2 hours into my 1200km ride home from picking up the bike.

 

right about 85-90...still plenty of gas but light is on...
