I have a 2005 R* 1700. 8,000 miles currently. I usually get anywhere from 155 - 175 miles before reserve light comes on. Best I have gotten is 53 mpg but average is more around 40-45 for normal weekend outings with in town normal traffic mpg of around 38 - 40.  |

Thanks for all the replies. I did a search on here and found tons of pages of threads on this and related topics. All I did find were for carbed. I don't know how accurate that would translate for my fuel injected. Anyway, I will keep an eye on it as I put mileage on it and post results on this thread if I get a significant difference. Maybe we could make this the official fuel injected R* mileage test during break in and beyond thread. Never know, it could help out some folks in the future if they have similar issues with new R*'s. I will keep track of mileage and MPG. In the meantime, keep posting any comments or ideas on this topic. Thanks to all.

GET SOME MORE MILES ON YOUR RIDE AND THEN GIVE IT A CHECK. SPUDWRENCH,OUT

When new, the engine is tight and fuel efficiency isn't all that great. Once broken in, I started getting about 42 mpg. Now, in the winter, I probably only get 35 to 37 mpg. So if your '08 runs anything like mine, then you're being nailed on two front: new, tight engine and winter running. And I might add that I am a very conservative rider.
