#205904 sctnmart (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 58 stock pipe mod 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I recently modified the stock pipes on my “07” RS, (stage 1, drilled 8 holes) and I’ve noticed a significant drop in my mpg. What can I do to improve the gas mileage?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #205913 Musky (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 15037 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Stop twisting the grip so much because you like to hear the pipes.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #205965 Southwest (User) Who left the gate open Senior Boarder Posts: 272 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Musky wrote: Stop twisting the grip so much because you like to hear the pipes.

I did the stage one mod on my 04 but still get 50mpg with normal er I mean reasonable riding. When it sounds so good to tach it up you find yourself taching it up more than necessary. Come on, admit it. You've been going a little further with the throttle since you did the mod haven't you?   Logged     New England rider since 1972,7th bike, EMT.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #206079 Ratl (User) Noone cares you're alive?

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1151 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I would weld the holes back up and get your back pressure to the engine. That is why you lost MPG's loss of backpressure! Those pipes may sound good but you pay in MPG.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #206179 Midnight1700 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 227 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I did the stage 1 on my 07 R* and didn't notice any change in fuel milage. Since the mod, I've put about 10,000 miles on it and it's still running great!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #206184 tsladden (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 359 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago     Logged     [/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #206295 Road_Hawg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1202 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   IMO the amount of back pressure lost from a stage 1 is negligible. In fact, I bet there is very little, if any lost. All of the baffling plates are still in place. With a stage 1 only the extreme rear plate is drilled. I don't think your fuel mileage loss has anything to do with a stage 1 mod. I did a stage 3 and didn't lose any MPG.   Logged     Detoxify Your Body and Feel Better   The administrator has disabled public write access. #206302 FL_rider (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 160 Re:stock pipe mod 8 Months, 2 Weeks ago   I did the Stage I mod on my 07 RS over 2 years ago and noticed no change (36-38 mpg). I did notice a change when the gas stations switched to the summer fuel blend. It goes back up in the fall. My next mod was the Baron BAK air breather and rejetted. The increased my MPG (40-45 mpg). I just bought Cobra Speedster Slashdowns because I wanted a little more sound   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
