Lol... Sorry to hear that. How long after you put gas back in did the bike fire back up?

It fired up no problem, I only had to push 1/2 block in Berkeley, CA. It really was 165 miles (on the trip meter), the milege is not good when I run it hard and the airbox mod required richer jets but it runs well. This is no 4.95 gallon tank though, unless the fuel pump missed something or the Chevron fuel pump is inaccurate (It said 4.705 gal). graemlins/thumbup.gif

Realizing that yur motor has carbs..and mine FI..I'd be lucky to get 130 mi out of a tank.. images/icons/frown.gif

Even when I had my 97 600..165 was hard to get.

Not to say you didn't get 165..I just wish I could.. images/icons/frown.gif
