If I fill my 6 gal tank to the top, my range says 290-320 MILES depending on how I have been ridding.
08 RG 7,500 miles with Rush slip ons only.

The mile shown after a fillup are estimated based on the average fuel use of X distance average.&nbsp\\; That is why it changes at times based on previous riding conditions.&nbsp\\; That said mine posts around 220 230&nbsp\\;if I am on the highway.&nbsp\\; If I been riding and winding in the Country I have had as low as 185r
&nbsp\\;
For someone else that asked, yes miles to reserve are new to the 2008s

I have a six gallon tank and I have 460 miles on the bike. I get about 160-170 miles on a full tank. I am running a harley down load and true dual V&amp\\;H Ovals. Hopefuuly as the motor breaks in the mileage will get better.

My miles remaining meter will show 260-270.&nbsp\\; My low light clips on around 215-230.&nbsp\\; Measuring MPG is almost impossible, it is hard to fill to the same point everytime. Especially when the pump pressure at some stations is so high.

It's probably running way too rich. Have it tuned

I have a 07 Ultra with a stage 1
My light comes on around 160-180 miles. this depends on how I am riding. Open road 180-190 miles, riding local around 160-170 miles.
I always run a new bike completely out of fuel after break in so I will have a idea how far I can go. At1 /2 tank of fuel I have a real good idea how my mpg is doing.

&nbsp\\;
what's your riding style, aggressive or conservative.&nbsp\\; Where do you ride, Interstate or 2 laners?&nbsp\\; lots of things influence mileage.&nbsp\\; Me, my 99 TC88 FLHT so far this year I've ranged from a high of 56 mpg for a tank to a low of 30.5mpg for a tank -&nbsp\\;I get 50+ mpg when keeping it below 55 mph riding around the back roads and running the&nbsp\\;whole tank with stopping (when bike cools,&nbsp\\;it will use more fuel on start up until warm again).&nbsp\\; the 30 mpg tank was all interstate&nbsp\\;running average 80 mph non-stop in the left lane.&nbsp\\;
