I wonder if my pipe directions said to take it off? Maybe I should have them them before I put em on.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #14632 07Midnight Star (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Re:Fuel mileage-During Break-IN 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Ok so back to the subject. Sounds like normal mileage right out of the box is 40+ I'm getting less than half of that. Is my engine just a lot tighter than normal? Is this good? Bad? Should i be worried? I removed my AIS and California smog BS.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #14633 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15137 Re:Fuel mileage-During Break-IN 5 Years, 4 Months ago   My milage when new was 27. After break in it was around 30. After I took the stock pipes off it went up to around 38 or so. Now I have put on a BAK, jetted, and ported my manifold. 44 mpg average. But that was just what my case was. The bikes are all different. I would start by having the dealer check the PMS to see if it's out too far. Might be the float level. Your bike is under warranty. Make them fix it.<br><br>Post edited by: Musky, at: 2007/01/16 20:45   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #14654 RoadieFF (Moderator) Moderator Posts: 2594 Re:Fuel mileage-During Break-IN 5 Years, 4 Months ago   When I picked up my 05 Midnight (with less than 1 mile on the odo) I had to ride almost 200 miles home, I did it on one tank with plenty to spare. Didn't even have to switch to reserve. Last time I checked I was getting low to mid 40's stock with only Stage 1 exhaust mod, I haven't checked in a while. Even new I'd say you may need some adjustments but I'm the last person to give advice on that.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #14664 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Fuel mileage-During Break-IN 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Don't panic yet as regards to your mileage, let the motor run its course through the break-in,then measure the mileage after break-in. It will probably surprise you how much more &quot;free&quot; and powerful and fuel efficient the bike will run. I noticed this at about 1000 mile mark.<br><br>Post edited by: Big Bear, at: 2007/01/17 07:04   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #14666 vegasdave (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1158 Re:Fuel mileage-During Break-IN 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Had to ride mine 300 miles the first day I bought it.From LA to Las Vegas. First 80 miles went thru almost a tank of gas.Stopped,had breakfast,let it cool down completely.Filled up and it settled right down.That was new,with (NO)miles on the speedo.Veried my speed best I could and kept it under 70MPH. Now after Dooley`s and Air cleaner and jetting(several times)39 to 44 MPG.
