    So...we all know how inaccurate the fuel gauge is on this but this seems to be getting worse. Has this happened to anyone else?

    While riding my bike with 2 bars showing and I lean to the right with any decent lean angle the bike starves and dies. It will immediately start back up once she is straight up and down. It only does this going right and 2 bars looks like a 1/4 tank to me. I get around 150-170 a tank depending on the riding I'm doing.

    I posted this:

    where I did pretty accurate measurements of the tank. If you can lean the bike and have it starve for gas, then you must be close to empty, and should be able to go to the gas station and get about 4.8 to 4.9 gallons in it, if you fill to the very very top (which honda says not to do).

    If not, that means you did have gas, and you have a fuel system problem.
