Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

when the light comes on and off a few times i try to fill up... i've found that if I ride when its on permanently I get around 25 miles (when I filled up she must have been running on fumes).

i used to hate not having a fuel gauge, but i just zero my odometer now and thats my fuel gauge... simples!

mileage

Have to say Aladin i'm about the same as you for mileage , if of course you're on a private road and playing the twat . :smt018 Must be something to do with those 54's sucking the stuff in ...... If not i'm normally about 90 - 100 before a light comes on which makes me feel better knowing everyone else is about the same .!!

If i ever get around to it and get the money together i'm hoping a dyno may help sort that out a bit or at least make it smoother when playing !!

On an average day, I get about 120 before the light comes on - I think the map and chip combination I am using is about the best untill I get my own map done

I also think the pipe mod has helped a fair bit as well...

On an average day, I travel much less than 120 miles

No - plenty to do .... just making the most of the time saved in having a 7 mile round-trip commute rather than one of 120 miles
