Is everything overstated on your bike's display?
The speedo appears to read a bit higher than actual speed, at least on my 2010 Connie; The indicated mpg appears to be waaaaay overstated - compared to actual computed mpg; Tire pressure readings are a couple psi greater than my gauge. Odometer is ever so slightly greater than actual distance traveled.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's interesting to note that all items are OVERSTATED on the display.

I have only had my C14 for a few weeks, but I went on a couple hundred mile ride today.
When I got to about 166 miles, the fuel guage displayed empty. I went and filled up--it took 4 gallons.
The odometer and speedometer go hand in hand so when the speed reads slightly faster then the miles will tick up slightly quicker. I believe on these bikes the norm seems to be about 3-5% off so for every 1000 miles you have about an extra 30-50 on the clock. There is a device called the Speedohealer that many have installed to correct the speedometer and odometer if it bothers you.

It seems pretty universal from these posts and personal experience that the speedo is typically fast. The percentage margin on mine seems to grow with speed. According to my GPS, it is roughly 3% fast at 60mph, while 5% different at 80mph, and while I will not personally attest to it ever happening, an educated "guess" would have it off almost 9% at 120mph.
both times took 5 gallons to fill to tab. So, a little more than a half gallon,
+1
I've went 48 miles with low fuel flashing and still had fuel remaining.
That is pretty impressive, because we have all pretty much determined it starts flashing at about 1.1 gal left. 48 miles on that is really starting to push it
Of course- I assume the tank data comes from a mechanical float and variable resistor... technology that is not exactly known for high accuracy.
