The busa has two trip meters. If you select "Trip-A" then press/hold the selector button, it will reset the trip meter AND that trip meter's avg mpg. Do this when you fill up with gas, and then as you ride, you'll be able to see if it's working correctly.

If I ride on the highway, and through some small town traffic while trying to ride nice, I'll get around 38 mpg. If I'm on the track trying to ride on the edge of killing myself, I only average about 18.7 mpg.

Good Luck

yes..i did reset it a few times.hmmm i didnt think i drove that bad all the time..but now i am wondering???
 
Gotta love it. I average around 27mpg during the life of a tank of gas. that includes to and from work and a weekend ride. Usually, I am putting in gas during the ride. Well be taking some lengthy rides in the next few months and will see what the mileage is then.
 
Seems low to me.
What you need to do ,to check it is, just leave Rhode Island ( The smallest State).
Come to Vermont ( The Fastest State)
chase me around for a few hours and then compare readouts and gas cosumption at the pump.
 
I get 50 mpg anytime I am on the highway, and around 40 driving through town.
 
I typically ride like a grandpa. (a really pissed off one) the last ride I took was 400 miles, running @80-90 mph & got 40.4 mpg.
 
I'm still breaking my busa in. My mpg gauge reads 37.3 but my actual mpg is around 42.
 
ha ha timmy...yes i live in a small state.. and Mrgxr...we have about the same mpg...whats up with that?
 
Speed limit mainly (and it was really 51.87 since the 'busa won't go past 50mpg on the display].

mine was real low until I tuned it then it jumped up and is running in the mid 30's all the time with a full system and a good dyno tune.
 
Your mileage is too low, I ride pretty hard and still get in the high 30's, If I baby it (like when I ride with cruisers) I can get mid to high 40's
