- July 20, 2015, 12:02:02 PMThanks guys,I presume I get good economy as most of our riding is around 40-50 mph due to our road structure but we are two up most of the time. I would say by what I am filling up with the tank is still half full as it is only taking between 2.5 to 2.75 gallons to fill it,I will just reset the trip in future and it's good to know it's not just mine. As for my surging problem unfortunately not got to the bottom of that one yet,I have just gone easy on the throttle in second gear. I will sort it in the end.

And I never trust the MPG readout on my Vaquero. I ran out of gas 1 time and learned I never want to push my bike again. Shunter if your getting 50mpg that is great! Did you ever get your slipping clutch figured out?

On long trips I use my odometer to gauge my fuel usage.

- July 19, 2015, 17:01:09 PMMy 2004 1500 gauge is showing empty after 125 miles also the low fuel light comes on at this time. It is a 5 gallon tank and the bike is doing 50mpg. Is this normal that it is so inaccurate. Even though you know there is plenty fuel left its a bit concerning seeing the light on.
