#304571 MaiRoadie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 372 Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I have read the fuel mileage on this site and as whole it is 10 mpg at least more than what I am getting. I would like to set out the EFI's and see what the range is here. I am getting 32-35 mpg with being light to medium on the throttle. Bike is still new just under a thousand miles. EFI's??? Stage 1 exhaust, without winshield 35, closer to 32 with medium windshield and bags.   Logged     LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM   The administrator has disabled public write access. #304574 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 17615 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   You're not going to get a good idea of what the gas mileage is on the EFI bike when your bike has such low mileage. Mileage is usually low for a new low mileage bike. It needs to be 'broken in' first.

I did not know it would change so drastically.   Logged     LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM, LEARN TO SWIM   The administrator has disabled public write access. #304595 copperchopper (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 112 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I know that sounds like crap,,,,,,,,,, But seems to even out In 2008 I was getting around 30-34, and 17,000 miles later I am up to 35-38, still no fuel sipper but at least as good as a small car   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #304596 billd (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1107 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I've gotten in the low 40's since my bike was new in June '08 except when I had the PC III connected. With the PC III connected I got in the low 30's. I now have about 5,700 on my bike. Check my profile for current mods.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1828 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   After I passed 5,000 miles my fuel mileage was averaging 38 mpg. After changing to Mobile One oil the mileage is now 42mpg. I was surprised that an oil change would affect it that much. I'm now at 6,700 miles and I think it is still breaking in. The mileage I think will get better.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #304695 Agpilot (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 774 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   I learn something new every day. I just assumed that the FI would get better fuel mileage than the Carb...Wrong again...Guess I was thinking autos...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #304701 tsladden (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 579 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   Assuming correct mixtures (not a problem with EFI) it takes X amount of fuel to move a given weight at a given speed (energy production). Mine gets about 40mpg around town and up that about 10 mpg on the highway. Given that on our bikes the rider and baggage can make up about 20-30% of the total weight, fuel milage will vary between owners quite a bit, and thats not to mention rider styles.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #304717 syfdeadhead (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 82 Re:Fuel mileage on EFI R* 1 Year, 9 Months ago   My milage has been 40 mpg from day one, I put a K&N air filter and went to 20w-50 Amsoil at the first service and I have Roadhouse slip ons I also run NGK Iridium plugs. The only time it drops below 40 is when I put on the tour pack and I get 38 mpg. The bike is an 08 with 21000 miles in just less than 2 years. I gased up today and got 42.75 mpg that being said I ride a lot of back roads at 55 to 65 mph, however I crank it up to 80-85 on the interstates.

Closer to 48 on the hwy if I have a good tailwind and I stay 65 mph or lower.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
