Re:Only getting 37 MPG 3 Months, 2 Weeks 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...........

I also get around the 40 mark around town give or take depending how I have been riding. 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

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.

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. I wish i had the answer to how this is but just have to believe i got a great roadie and i am just really lucky
