Easy riding on back roads with an average speed of around 45-50mph. Stock intake, stage 1 exhaust, PMS @ 3. Normally I average 46mpg while commuting to work or weekend runs.

Junior Boarder Posts: 197 Re:Who gets 50+ mpg... 4 Years, 8 Months ago   I calculated 48 mpg on the way home from the mountains last month, and that was doing 130 kph (about 77 mph) most of the way. I'm confident I could hit 50 mpg no problem doing something near the legal limit of 110 kph. I have an '05 1700 that I've rejetted (Dynojet parts, my settings)&amp; am running a Speedstar air filter assy, Roadhouse 2-1 classics and no fuel pump or emissions air pump crap. Something else I have noticed though is that, while my service manual states a fuel capacity of 20 L total &amp; 3.5 L reserve (meaning 16.5 L before reserve), I was unable to squeeze more than 16L of fuel into her even though I had been on reserve for 40-50 km's (30mi). Has anyone ever run it completely out of fuel on reserve &amp; if so how far did you get ?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 4368 Re:Who gets 50+ mpg... 4 Years, 8 Months ago   Hmmm... so it looks like the mid 40's to upper 40's is common so far. Same here since I tweaked it. I got 45.4 today. Didnt know if over 50 was a common thing. Guess we could all do it with the right kinda driving...but that would be boring.   Logged     04 MIDNITE SILVERADO   The administrator has disabled public write access. #39255 daywalker (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 198 Re:Who gets 50+ mpg... 4 Years, 8 Months ago   51mpg. all stock except for stage III on the pipes   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #39294 rwsnead (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Re:Who gets 50+ mpg... 4 Years, 8 Months ago   i got 54 mpg on my last long ride. that is riding 55-65 mph, in may i rode with a friend on a 500 plus mile ride 90% was on the interstate, i had to ride 80-85 to keep up with him i checked my mileage, i only got about 37 miles to a gallon!! so, i keep it below 70 now !! the 54 was also after i went to mobile 1 full syntheic oil too? not sure if that helped out? stock bike with stage 1 mod to exhaust<br><br>Post edited by: rwsnead, at: 2007/09/03 21:48   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #39311 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Who gets 50+ mpg... 4 Years, 8 Months ago   BR, I've broke into the low 50's on long stretches with no stopping, and that was carrying a passenger. Did it about a month ago in fact. hit reserve today right on the 200 mile mark. filled her up, 45.85 MPG (or 46 if you're like me). That was a combo ride ,60% highway, 40% backroad. I never get lower than 40, tend to average about 42-45. And I've changed a bunch of stuff (which you already know). BB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
