Nightser Gas Mileage
#21
I'm in the same boat. I get about 85-100 before my fuel light comes on. I have an 09 and the first 1000 miles it would come on around 75 miles but it seems to have leveled out. I have a heavy breather and 2-1 vance hines, with the power commander. Not sure if it has made much milage diffferance yet I just had it dinoed, and I can't seem to stay out of it.

My low fuel light used to come on around 100-105 miles but since I completed the stage 1, it comes on anywhere between 75-90 miles now. I tend to ride 80-85mph on the interstates, sometimes 90-100mph (don't judge! LOL). I don't usually hot rod it on the busy city streets. Too many factors to worry about (cars pulling out, cars turning, car in front of me stopping at a yellow light, car behind me, pedestrians, bicyclists, etc.). Put me on an empty stretch of I-840 or I-40 and "hello lead throttle hand!"
I usually stop around 100 miles to refuel. At that point, I need to stretch my legs out anyway. I'm sure all my friends are sick of my pilates moves on my bike. I have to stretch my legs some how...
Oh, and the furthest I ever went before refueling was about 125 miles, and that was prior to the stage 1.

I read this and I am amazed yet befuddled with the low mileage some of yall are getting on the nightster. I can't see it being that different than other sporties. I ride my sporty hard. Usually 75+ on the freeway, and I don't fool around in city traffic either. I have a windshield and usually a bag and often my fiance. I still don't get below 45mpg.
25-30 MPG? WTF? If my sporty got that low I'd be workin on it to figure out why and get it fixed. Even with a serious stage 2 upgrade I can't see it being that low.
Of course it does appear more of confusion of actual gas mileage and when the highly inaccurate low fuel light comes on.
