310 kms and still haven't hit reserve!! 3 Months, 1 Week ago
|
|
Since adding the ported manifold, dyna 3000, and BAK with 167.5 main, needle on the 4th clip, stock pilot with PMS at 2.5 turns out I've been getting great gas mileage. 310 kms(186 miles) on this tank so far and still haven't hit reserve although my fuel light came on around 290 kms(174 miles). Before I installed everything I was looking for gas around 220 kms. Not too shabby I think. |

That's about 194 miles, I think. I've only broken 200 once before going to reserve (201.3 to be exact). But that was only possible because I did the tank fill spout mod and started out that time with a reaaaaally full tank.

That is awesome mileage man, I am lucky to get 240km total. I have a dyna 3000, hypercharger, jetted and after market pipes. Just wanted to add I love the look of your bike, that is very similar to the paint job I wanted to get but unfortunately I couldn't afford it.  |

That's reasonable if you dong mostly highway.
I regularly get 240-260 km around town. Haven't done highway for some time but I do remember hitting 300+. 
Glad to here it's running well.

1000 metres 
... and for those that don't know 1 kilometer = 5/8 mile.
