G5 has a fuel meter? News to me.
Right after the Average MPG reading since new in the same place as the clock or odometer, keep pressing select till you see #.#G5 has a fuel meter? News to me.
On my Gen5 the display usually reads 0.3 gallons lower than actual so for example the dash might display 3.2 gallons used but the tank actually takes 3.5 gallons at fill-up. I've noticed that the display comes closer to reality if I spend a good amount of time in putt-putt mode such as on a long, slow group ride but that's a rare situation for me. When it comes down to it I don't give it much thought and just keep in mind that I can expect a low fuel warning when the bike tells me it's burned 3.2 gal.I have noticed that the amount of fuel I have to put in my bike quite is a bit over what the bike's gallons used meter says has been used and that I am not actually getting the MPG the dash says I should be getting. Are these meters accurate for gen5s usually and should I be digging in to the bike to find a fuel leak?
When it says I have used 3 gallons I have actually used 3.5 gallons and the fuel light comes on then. It says I have averaged 40mpg since new but I am only ever just barely at 30mpg according to gallons put back into the bike+miles travels that tank.
Yes Sir! My experience as well.On my Gen5 the display usually reads 0.3 gallons lower than actual so for example the dash might display 3.2 gallons used but the tank actually takes 3.5 gallons at fill-up. I've noticed that the display comes closer to reality if I spend a good amount of time in putt-putt mode such as on a long, slow group ride but that's a rare situation for me.

Good luck!
I fueled up yesterday and the reading was lower by 2.3 liters /0.6 US Gal (showing 10.7L, put 13L in it).same here.... I think the reflash, gearing and our manners of driving have to do with that.
Can definitely second that, wouldn't mind a slightly bigger fuel tank actuallysame here.... I think the reflash, gearing and our manners of driving have to do with that.
They are bloody pigs, big ass hungry ones too. My 05 R1 had putt putt mode engaged a few times and I could get 200 miles to a tank doing just under 60mph. I live on the prairies, we are talking about perfectly flat and straight. My 2016 during its first 1000 miles is already acting like a pig, and I'm babying it.I feel like all these liter bikes now are gas pigs. can't get 100 miles on a full tank.
