Re: [ST] fuel guage/mileage

[Dan Wetherington <dnlwthrn@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm glad to hear that Gavin's experience parallels mine.  I actually got 
more than 200 miles to a tank on my '03 once, 202mi to be exact.  I 
usually average around 160 though.  Most of my riding is commuting at 
this point (I apologize to the bike all the time), and if I keep things 
mellow I get 160-170 miles to a tank.  When I start to get into the 
throttle a lot, that drops to 140-150 miles.  Had the 12k service done 
over the winter, and nothing looked out of whack.  All the valves were 
within spec, everything else looked good.  Only issue was the front pads 
needed replacing (25% left) and the brakes needed to be flushed/filled.  
Oh, and I'm running stock exhaust/air filter and stock tune...

Somehow I knew that this talk about the fuel gauge would turn into a 
discussion of mileage.
