#123532 BlueSpringsR*Brian (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 3 Years, 4 Months ago   I was getting low 40's until the dealership jetted it to rich (IMO). Now I have been getting about 37. I plan to re-jet and hope to get some of the mileage back...........   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #123572 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 375 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 3 Years, 4 Months ago   I too am getting low to mid 40's.

I have pulled 50 a time or two running at 70-75 with a touch of seafoam in the tank. We ran from Colorado to Florida and back this summer and riding two up and FULLY loaded ( wifey can pack the snot out of a bike) I averaged right around 44-45 for 4600 miles   Logged     www.vikingwarhorse.webs.com -New trip story and pix 1/30/2010 THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AINT NOTHING LIKE THE COST OF LIVING HIGH   The administrator has disabled public write access. #123706 Capt.Kirk (User) "Beam me up Scotty and keep it on two wheels" Gold Boarder Posts: 819 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 3 Years, 4 Months ago   I've had my roadie for almost three years and I get about 42-45mpg. I run the 87 octane with a shot of Seafoam about every third tank.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #123710 thumpertattoo (User) Thumpertattoo Junior Boarder Posts: 148 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 3 Years, 4 Months ago   I am out of the norm i average 48 mpg and run in town and on the highway going over the speed limit on most long trips.

Moderator Posts: 11731 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 2 Years, 10 Months ago   37 is good overall I get 35-36 in town, and 45-46 highway running 70-80. It depends on how many miles you got on the bike, type of oil dyno or syn how much blipping riding style any number of things like how much stuff ya got to catch the wind. I always looked at it like this I get what I get and it is always better than my Dodge truck (11-13 mpg) and heck of a lot more fun.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #180240 huskerbob (User) Life is about monents that take your breath away Platinum Boarder Posts: 2060 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 2 Years, 10 Months ago   Here WE go again seafoam sea foam Got to get some seafoam   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #180249 Thom M (User) When the going gets weird, the RoadStar gets going Gold Boarder Posts: 905 Re:Only getting 37 MPG 2 Years, 10 Months ago   huskerbob wrote: Here WE go again seafoam sea foam Got to get some seafoam Having problems Bob, or just tired of hearing seafoam?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
