Fuel Mileage questions

1230 Views 7 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  bud8fan
On my 1500 classic, I had filled the tank whilst on the kick stand
to within an inch or so of the top of the hole,
Ran a total of 108 miles before she quit, switche to reserve
stopped to get fuel and it took little over 3 gallons
this sound about right on a new motor?

thanks

On my 1500, I normally get to 160-180 miles before the fuel light comes on. At that point, I have about 1 gallon or 40 miles left.

How big is the tank opn your FI model? I have a 4.2 gal with a 1 gal reserve. No way can I get that many miles on 3 gallons of gas
5 gallons, no reserve.
