Re: [ST] Frightening Fuel Consumption



Jonathan,

That doesn't sound too good.  Around town and for commute riding 
(usually about 43 MPG), my RS consistantly turns on the yellow light 
around 190 - 200 miles, which means it would be empty around 230 or 
so.  On the highway, when I'm getting nearer 50 MPG, it goes quite a bit 
farther.

Do you smell any gas near the bike?  Is it possible you have a leak?  I 
think I'd get it checked asap if I were you.  80 to 90 miles per tank 
indicates an MPG of something less 20.
