My fuel tank was recalled this last year so when they replaced it, they made sure my clutch and jets were also set right. I can get 100 miles if I stay under 50 mph but the moment I open it up even a little bit, it sucks the fuel right out. I ran 50 and under for 50 miles and was at half a tank, then I opened it up for 7 miles and dropped to a quarter tank.....that's what worries me.
Forget the gage. The only way to check mileage is with the odometer for miles you traveled vs how many gals to top off the tank.
Pull you plugs, if they are not cocoa brown to light brown, your jetting is too rich.
My 03 800 ProX would only get about 95 miles to the tank with factory stock jetting, Dropping 2 sizes on the main jets and I was running 130 to 140 miles easy on a tank of fuel.
