#90309 Moondog (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 375 Re:Gas Mileage 3 Years, 11 Months ago   2 weekends ago I went on a 320 mile trip (mostly Highway and going about 70) riding 2up and got 47mpg. Most of my riding is 2up to work and back about 50/50 city and highway where I get about 40. Going to work and back my fuel light comes on around 155 miles but I have never gone more that just a few miles after the light comes on and never put in more than 3.9 gallons at fuel up. I know my speedometer if off by about 5 or 6% so the 155 miles is more like 147 when the light comes on. But the 320 trip was off my gps.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #352380 Starkruzen (User) Starkruzen Platinum Boarder Posts: 1460 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 2 Months ago   I just installed a HSR 42mm Flatside carb I got from Maxair Engineering and get 44.7 mpg and that was getting on it a couple of times. Stock advertised mpg is 36 mpg you can use that as a point of measure. If you are getting less than 36 mpg then there is a problem with jetting or air leak. If you get more be happy.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #352382 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 2 Months ago   How to revive a thread from death   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #352390 fishhead (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 316 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year, 2 Months ago   greenpus wrote: How to revive a thread from death How to kill a thread.....

When I first got the bike I dont know the mileage, but I would have to go to reserve after 197 miles. Stock setup. Now with Speedstar 42 HSR carb, speedstar ported/polish manifold, ngk iridiums (changed to stock last night), v&H shorty pipes, custom Voes system, barnett clutch spring and clutch plates. I have to go to reserve anywhere from 139-141 miles, fast or slow.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #378926 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year ago   fishhead wrote: greenpus wrote: How to revive a thread from death How to kill a thread.....

Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year ago   so much for the EPA..... sometimes ditching the epa requirements are a better thing.........most of us have, and the bike will run better and get better MPG...........the govmint thinks that we will ride until it burns, they don't have a clue how much we care about our engine's because the only bench mark they have is the cagers. Many will run a car into the dirt and then trade..It's a disposable world we live in. They don't really know how we think of our bikes..................   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #378941 Sasquatch1 (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 190 Re:Gas Mileage 1 Year ago   Holly crap those wheels would have to make a wild noise to propele that death trap to 80mph Hell I wanna test drive one now just to see if it will do it.   Logged     \"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #378962 Bassmar@aol.com (User) Ride while you can!!
