Unplug the fuel tank sensor in that situation. I the sensor is the issue, you'll be able to use the .8 of a gallon left.Well I conked out at 93 miles only. Some major issues on the range of this bike and don't know what it is.
When I switched to reserve, it did nothing to help the bike keep running or start back up whenever it died on me.
The actual light of the fuel light works as it lights up on ignition but never turned on when riding.
Definitely frustrated for several reasons, ran out of fuel at 93 miles, fuel light didn't work when low, and reserve didn't help me limp to a gas station

That Sucks !
I always set my trip odometer when I fill up and make sure I get to a Gas station around 100 miles or so just to be safe.

Well 90-110 miles before the light comes on....and you have to switch to reserve is pretty common.
Same here!!! I have a mental gas gauge using the trip meter; 0 miles = full, 30 miles = 3/4, 60 miles = half, 90 = 1/4, around 108 to 110 low fuel light should kick on, and 115 to 120 red zone.....better get gas NOW!!!
I wish I was able to get 100 miles on a tank (before or after reserve). I'm trying to narrow down the problem. Got stage 7 jet kit with modified stock exhaust. Wanting to get a full exhaust on it soon as well as a igni switch. After that my next guess would be to look at the mains and see what size the PO has in the bike to see if he was running like 170s and should be running 155s or 152.5s.
Any additional ideas are welcome as unfortunately my knowledge is limited on the Vmax and I'm just an accountant by day so the tax code makes more sense to me than some of the stuff relating to my bike does.
Well thats probably most of your problem....stage 7 with a stock...or modified stock exhaust. To get all of the benefits of stage 7....you need an aftermarket exhaust.
So your flowing a LOT of fuel into the engine.....and CANT flow a lot of exhaust OUT of the engine.
Well to first see if you have V-boost.....do you have a whirring sound when you turn the key on?
Unfortunately I'm at work....and cant post a youtube video of it, but you can type in Vboost sound....and that should pull up a video.
Just remove enough to see if your VBoost butterflies open and then close when you turn-on the ignition. Look for the cable movement. If you are running VBoost always-open, then there probably-won't be any cycling to hear.
The VBoost motor is energized/controlled by the round electrical plug under the left scoop unless it has been bypassed by some aftermarket switch.

This what you mean by butterflies? The part he gave me in a box?
And the round electrical plug on the top of the second picture?
