Quote from: MarkusNthe "start" (fuel shutoff when pumping)

I pump until the pump shuts off, then angle it and fill until I get to the bottom of the filler neck.  I think that's more accurate than using the pump shutoff... heck, if I have the pump all of the way in, the shutoff comes with about 1.5 gallons waiting to go into the tank.  

That's how I do it as well, and most everybody, I think, because, as you say, The Tank is only about half full when you shut off car-tank like.

Still, depending on how inclined the bike stands, given the large surface of the "fuel-pool" that is a pretty inconsistent criterion. I do notice that mpg from tankful to tankful varies considerably, but when I calculate a moving average I get a pretty consistent value.

I notice the same thing. Riding with pillion in the flat seems to improve mileage. Could be the moderated driving style with the better half on board... Or improved aerodynamics.

Mods: look at sig.

High: upper 40s
Avg: mid 40s
Low: low 40s

FUnny thing, i think i'm getting better mileage with the pods, exhaust, stage III jet kit vs. stock. Could be the factor that i'm doing less RPM at the same freeway speed due to increased power. Also, i don't need to get on it as much when i have more power.

Bike has 32K miles.
