Just as reminder, for some of our newer members, and based on some comments I see here...
You have 5.6 - 5.7 gallons of usable capacity in your tank. Not 6.08.
The fuel gauge does not respond linearly. As well, it has five divisions. The divisions stay lit until exhausted. As a result it is very easy to look at your gauge and see what looks like half a tank (3/5), but actually be just about to the 2/5 mark. On my bike the 2/5 division (the one above the flashing warning) is the smallest, often only 35 miles or so (3/4 gallon). The warning section, bottom 1/5, is about 1.4 gallons for me. Consequently I can see a half tank indication and in fact have less than 2.15 gallons remaining to dry. Just something to be aware of if you are averse to running out of fuel.
As for fuel economy, I guess I tend to get around 45 mpg. More if I go slow, 55-60 mph, about 52 mpg. Less if I go fast, 80-85 mph, 38-40 mpg. Obviously a lot of other factors, but speed seems to be the biggest one. I am pretty confident of a 200 mile tank in worst cases, and could probably hit 300 miles under ideal conditions if I was poking along.
