Carb balance and engine mount checks could be in order then !!!

twisties and such, I've been getting 120 miles before the light comes on.

highways/freeways, I've been getting 150-160 miles before the light comes on (I once got 188 miles including reserve and found that I had 0.5 gallons left in the tank).

hasn't changed much with the FCR's either.

Run out of fuel today at 123 miles on my 900ie, a great way of finding out the fuel light doesn't work (new bike) looked like the tank was full to start with

I get around 45 mpg (10 miles/litre) from my 748 in daily use; maybe 50 mpg on a long run. Have got 174 miles from a tankful ni the past, nursing it a bit for the last few miles!

So about the same as edwyun above. Although those gallons are smaller in the States, aren't they?

The 750SSie that I had before was slightly better, nearly 50 mpg in ordinary use.

Also, I run stock cans. I suspect that makes quite a difference.
