With a set of MiG slip-ons and no other engine work, I would get 90mpt before the RLOD came on. This was also with a +2 rear sprocket.
Edit - forgot to add, I weigh 235 pounds, and about 255 with full gear.

Aggressive as in track riding, RLOD at 90-95 miles. This is with Hindle slip-ons, filter, and jet kit. Riding around town, and even in the twisties I can get upwards of 130 mpt before RLOD.

all depends on the riding... highway is around 140miles before the light comes on, around town normally about 100, spirited riding anywhere from 90-130 - really depends on if it's really twisty so I'm accelerating out of the turns a ton or if it's a lil quicker riding sweepers and ****

Yes, I think that is correct, Auron! If you're new to the Superhawk and having a hard time getting used to this mileage thing you're NOT alone. I was floored that it used so much gas. It didn't stop me from turning the dial but I was really surprised. After running out a couple times, I learned to respect the light. I don't trust the light for more than 15 miles once it comes on.

On my '03 I can get about 45mpg on the freeway, cruising at 75mph. Really aggressive canyon riding nets about 28. That translates to (almost) 160 mile freeway range and about 100 canyon miles on 3.5 gallons of fuel, still leaving .7 gal of reserve. I'm running Jardine RT-1 Hi mounts with stock jetting.

slips
I have read on here that baically all slip ons will work fine with stock jetting at the altitude of Denver. I live in Albuquerque, NM and a local dealer said stock jets will be fine at our 5k feet above sea level.
