Default 1996 Arctic Cat Bear Cat Gas Milage ???

No,I filled it up and drove it and I got 23 miles, then I put it on reserve to get back to reill it up again.So I am getting 23 miles before I have to use reserve.There are no gas leaks and the bike is running fine.

That doesn't sound too good. I have 4.8 gal tank and if I take it easy I can go between 100 and 120 miles.
Sounds to me like you are only getting 4 or 5 miles per gallon.
Is your machine an automatic or manual. If manual are you using the upper gears or staying in the lower ones. Also, are you in low-range and not in high-range.
I know these questions sound dumb but you say it is running fine but can only go 23 miles from a full tank before having to switch over to reserve. That being the case then your reserve is only good for about 7 miles. So you can go about 30 miles total on about 4.8 gallons. Not to good my friend - sorry to say. Something isn't right that is for sure.

Taking it to the AC dealer is a good idea. Good luck and I hope you get it fixed soon. The season will be gone all to quickly.
