Gas mileage really sucks

Slow down on the mods. You do not need to do a pair valve removal for a stock exhaust. Switching to 87 octane is a good thing. Have you had your throttle bodies synced?
 
I have a stock 06 with 27000 miles and drive about 50 miles to work on the interstate, at 70 mph it averages 47 mpg.

On the weekend it's about 35 mpg.

I was gonna ask the same question. Throttle bodies been synch'd.
Might wanna look for someone in your area to hook it up.
If your ever in South East CT give me a call, you can swing by and ill synch em for ya.
It'll take me 10 minutes tops.
 
How about a complete write up on how to synch throttle bodies?

Im gettin average of 45 mpg highway and around 35 street. compared to my truck 11mpg I know which one I will drive.
 
dropBusa, I'll be in Groton end of next month for training. Are you free in early August?
Absolutely, just PM me when your gettin ready to come around and ill shoot you my number. I live right off base and it'll be no problem to synch em.
As long as you dont have a problem bein around a "dirty blue shirt"

On the real though, i stay quiet around my area so no worries.
 
Oh man, you're a dirty blue shirt?!?? I hear you guys are "cunning and devious"
Its all good, I didn't go to the Academy.
I should get out of prototype mid July, then I'll be at SOBC. I'll pm you then.
Thanks,
 
I live in the city and regularly get about 38 mpg, which includes a mix of city and highway riding. The popping on deceleration seems unusual for a bike without any mods. Let us know what you find.
 
My gas mileage is 15-25 in the city wtF? and this is trying my hardest to get best mileage IE not goosing it and cruising at around 4k rpm. I just had it dyno tuned with yosh r-22 full system, power commander 5, small airbox and pair mod. There is surges in areas of 3-5k at part throttle and the tuner said it is the small airbox so I freaken ordered a new airbox! so Frustrating hope fixes mileage in city. On the freeway I can get it up to 48mpg. Any ideas its an 06 with only 10k miles I did put some redline fuel cleaner in it but that was like 3 tanks ago. And I saw someone mentioned something about water in the tank when I give her a wash I have to blow in keyhole and water comes out hopefully not going into tank. maybe fuel cleaner gunked up **** like injectors of fuel filter/pump I have never checked. After my new airbox comes in and have tuner fix lower RPM range and if surging and ****ty gas mileage persist in gonna completely take injectors out send them for cleaning and testing and check fuel pump displacement, screens, replace fuel filter with inline mod one.
 
I run 92 and average 38 mpgs and I am in it a lot.Lower octane cant give better milage as its flash point is lower and will burn faster.Slower the burn, better milage usually and more power is the way it was explained to me.I just cant see how a high compression engine can use low octane and not ping.I know its in the tune but low octane is low octane.Guess I am missing something here???
