How many miles till the fuel light comes on on a "72"?
#13
Ill tell you what everytime my bike starts showing the light when im riding i always give myself a few miles before i head to a station to fill up. I probably rode about 2-3 maybe before my bike started acting sluggish between shifts right before i made it to a petrol station a couple days ago. Like BMXatv said...When you see the light come on start making your way to a gas station. Don't chance it unless you have a spare bottle of fuel on your bike, even then don't chance it.

You should be getting ~40mpg if you're not riding it like a raped ape.

fuel/mileage
I get roughly 50-55 miles on my stage 1 72 until the light comes on. The furthest I have pushed it was to 85 miles and filled it with 1.97 gallons (43 mpg). When I got to around 77 miles though,as the remaining fuel sloshed around, my bike was sputtering really bad especially when accelerating.
Two other times times I have watched it when fueling up I have gone 65 miles, and 1.67 gal (38 MPG), 67 miles and 1.69 gal (39 mpg).
I don't ride too hard though, someone that does will prolly notice even less mpg...
