The way I ride, I get about 43-44 mpg and I am going to reserve at about 160 miles on the ODO.
When I travel two up I drive much more conservatively and my mileage goes up over 50 mpg and I can get 180-190 before hitting reserve.
With the 3.3 and 43-44 mpg driving, I get about 105-110 before going to reserve.

I just filled up today, ran 172.7 miles, filled it with 3.773 gallons, that works out to be 45.77 MPG. I'm running a SE A/C, with a 45/175 (Slow/Main) jet, and punched stock mufflers. I did check the plugs, and she's running a little lean @ WOT, so I'm changing to 180 Main. She still pops occasionally at a stop sign, about once every 4-5 times I stop. I think I need to tweak it. Anyone have any suggestions on how to set the idle speed. I don't have a tachometer, nor do I want to buy one.
Thx
