I had been getting roughly 175 miles per tank. Now I get low-fuel light around 125 miles? Bike runs and sounds fine. Any ideas? Thanx

Tire pressure? Also, a buddy with a X1 here in town had the Race Muffler installed, and the screw that holds the baffle in unscrewed and came out. The baffle shifted inside the can and then the ECM tried to like, make up for the change and gave the motor more fuel, it was funny.

Same type of fuel and same riding habits?
I would look at your tire pressures and air filter.

Tire pressure is right on. Air filter looks pretty good, It's an XR-2 w/ about 2k miles. I have Supertrapp can, everything looks and sound ok, though I will take cap off and look around. Thanx for info.

Try the O2 sensor. Are you getting winter grade fuel in your area? That cuts fuel economy also.
