Enjoying myself I try to fill up at about 100 miles and that generally sups about 12 liters.
on average i get 90 miles before light comes on.
I have a full system and BMC air filter.

I didn't re-jet after I fitted mine (washers) and get ~130miles to the flashing light on my curvy.
How is yours restricted?

You shouldn't need any rejet with the restrictor kits if the bike is stock. With a full system like daves the different jetting might be f##kin with it.

Ah ok.. didn't realise he had a full system. Makes sense now.
Maybe he just rides like a hooligan!

yup
I'm hoping they rejetted it when they fitted the system anyway. But yeah I reckon that's it. If you ride behind me you can smell fuel and it pops a lot so it's definitely chucking out unburnt fuel.

Hmmm possibly a stock filter when it's been jetted for a BMC or something
