What kind of fuel mileage are you guys getting on your 500's
-
About 40 mpg on the road. I did 125 miles coming down from Alaska and had just under a gallon left in my 3.8 gallon Zip-Ty tank. 15/47 with an overdrive 4200rpm @ 60 mph.

HA....slim to none!!...I don't know for sure,20-30 miles.I do alot of sand track and wide open power lines,so I could probably get close to 40 in the trails.

Cause so far I am only getting about 20 miles on 2 gallans of fuel does that sound right to you guys, This is on an AF conversion with stock kx 450 tank

That's about what I get on my 00 K5 while sand riding, perhaps a tad more.

This is an impossible question to accurately answer. terrain conditions, jetting, mods, throttle discipline (or lack of) all play a major role in fuel economy.
Dual sporting my crisp jetted stock KX500 with good throttle control on logging roads I can squeek out about 45 miles on a tankfull
*edit* Oops, I also run a 15T sprocket when I dual sport, hence the better fuel economy

I can squeak 38 out of a 2.2 gallon tank on my 500 if I take it easy. Easily under 30 when on it. This is a 04 KX250 chassis conversion.
