This light makes fuel tank swell. I've used it on all my vehicles.

Today I pumped 3.2 gallons at 182 miles. I might have even made it the other 8 miles home!

Tell me if anyone has had similar experience with their 12r? When bike was new I was lucky to get to 100 miles before the light came on. After the bikes first track day it progressively got better and now I'm seeing 120. Could be cause I'm going faster on the track and slower on the public roads. But I doubt that can account for all of it. Side bar I burned a tank of gas at about 60 track miles.

When I got the bike at first I was getting 45mpg consistently. After I changed to synthetic oil, by the second one of those I was getting 55mpg consistently. This is over about a 6 month period. I'm coming up on oil change number 14 and I'm getting 58-62mpg consistently these days. It's a thing of beauty.

I have a 12R and I would be really lucky to get 100 miles....I'm starting to get a little more now.

Illyhaskel, your mileage should get better as the motor gets fully broken in. How many miles you got on the bike so far?

I have a 12R,
Started out going about 100 miles a tank.
Now @4900 miles I can 130+ without the light coming on, But I also do not ride the bike all that hard shifting around 3500-4000 RPMs.
