Angry ANOTHER Mileage sucks thread...

I've got a 2005 M50 with just over 10,000 miles on it. I picked it up in March as my first bike and have a question as to how horrible my gas mileage is.

I'm 6'2" 240lbs and my first flashing light comes on about 110 miles into a tank. I usually don't let the tank run past 125 or 130 before filling up since it turns solid right around there. That seems like it puts me a little low as far as mileage!

Most of the commute is in town (2.7 miles). The bike is stock other than the SpitFire windshield and I debaffled the pipes a couple weeks after I got it.

Is there something that I should be looking at first?

Thanks!
