After reading everything it seems to me that every fuel gauge is different. On my 2013 RTL the fuel gauge was horrible. When it indicated that I was just about empty I still had a half a tank of gas. When I got my 2015 the gauge seems to be pretty accurate. Of course I am not getting anywhere near the millage the manual says i should get, but it is a lot better than the 2013. I go by approximate millage from my last fill up as well as my gauge for fill ups. I have less that 1K miles on my 2015 so I expect a lot better millage as the season goes on.

I tanked up today and rode 180.3 miles to empty. I set my cc at 72mph.
At 134 miles: 2bars and low fuel light
At 154 miles: Zero bars, low fuel light
At 180 miles: engine s/d, flipped kill switch and coast to shoulder.
I was carrying 1.5gal in a 2gal can in my left saddle bag.
I simply wanted to eliminate the anxiety of low fuel light and confirm bike range at hwy speed.

I've got a 2012RTS, I ran it to the point where it died on me. I managed to 70km when the light came on. I also worked out that I can get 35km per bar. I disconnected the old fuel and temp gauges and replaced them with a voltage and oil pressure gauge. I also use 98 octane.

Well that's 11 points more than it needs .....but it will run on that...............IMHO using any gas gauge to determine how far you can travel on the amount you THINK is in the tank is foolish......Especially where you live if you are in the " outback "..........good luck......Mike :bbq:

To get the best gas mileage, I make sure to plan my trips so I am always going downhill with the wind to my back.:roflblack::roflblack:

That sure beats walking uphill in four feet of snow, in a blizzard at 10 below zero, to and from school back in the 50's. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:
