Re: [ST] Fuel gauge - bug or feature?

[Al Garvin <agarvin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is exactly how mine works also. The low fuel light comes on at 233 
miles. I usually fill up when the trip odo says 200 miles and it takes
3.8 to 4 gallons every time.  I consistantly get 50 MPG no matter how I 
ride. Stock sprocks (2000 ST) with an under seat exhaust.

I think Triumph needs to find the guy who designed the hard bags for the
99 to 04 Sprint. They look like they were made for the Sprint. The new 
2005 bags look like they were made for a BMW.
