I can get another .5 gallons after the first click. I try to fill it to the neck if I can. Even then I don't consider it over filled.

As for the "approx miles left" guage, my 09 SG starts between 240 and 260 depending how I fill it. The guage on my 09 Ultra starts around 220 and hangs there until I've burned about a gallon of gas. Why wont it start with the same miles as the SG? Both bikes average about 43 miles per gallon driving 70 mph.

4 Pour the gasoline into the tank
5 Releast until the tank is full , noting each time how many quarts you've poured in so far
6 Get back to us.

That'd be great

Cheers,

This thread is useless without photos of your wife's calibrated jugs!
