200 miles on one tank of gas

ok maybe im just a bit dizzy but is there a way to get a digital display on the RT ? all I have is the analog I want digital bars darnit !!! I feel left out

Disconnect the wires to both analog gauges and the display will revert to the digital gauges.

i was shocked ! Hubby and i did a run from Murray Ky to Houston Tx on one tank I was able to get 43 mpg! Never got that again but believe me i was doing the happy dance lol. Now that being said it was in the middle of the night no traffic no stops ave 65 mph. He always gets better milage when he is following me as well.:roflblack:



You must weigh 100 lbs and had a 50mph tailwind.. Lol

are bars an RS thing ? I have an RT and I just have 4 "Bars" full- 3/4-1/2-1/4 then red at 1/8 ? no official bars

You are correct. We have 8 'bars' that are digital.

This is where I get lost, I can only put in a max of about 3.2 gallons when the light goes on. That means the tank should still have about 2.8 gallons (nearly half full), allowing .6 gallons for empty space when the tank is "filled." My mind just can't seem to accept that the second half of the tank is running on empty, but all the numbers indicate that this is the case.

Thoughts?

Similar here. Light goes on at 110 miles or so. Then takes 3.X gals. I have not yet figured out the range...seems early for the low fuel light to activate.

milage

Just got back from a trip to Montana. Got 31.8 from Spokane WA. to Clark Fork. That was with 1300 miles on byke and rider with passenger for most of it. I ride very conservatively. hoping it stays around there.
