Great gas mileage

[nickxxxr]

IDK how the hell you guys get such huge mileage from a tankful of fuel. I'm lucky to get 120km per tank, but that might be to do with how I ride.

+1 i never seen more than 38. Norm is like 28-30

I get around high 40s. But as soon as I hit the afterburner it drops to20 or lower. I think around 17 or 18.

Yeah i get 36 on base. 45-50 off base. and around 20 when i really play

Yeah well when you are confined to 25-35 mph on base it kills you MPG

 

[bradbusa]

my stock k8 with pipercross street filter averages 60mpg on highway trips

i can believe that man. you can always stretch her out on the back side of base

out towards onslow yes but the speed limit is higher out there anyway but I almost never go out that way. Always 25 and 35 around here :-(

I have gotten 63-65 on long trips, constant speed.

that's because you weigh about as much as one of my legs and can fit behind the windscreen some of us (talking about me) have the aerodynamics of a block of concrete

The best I did was 55 mpg and that was 2-up. Normally get around 38-46 mpg.

I'm right with you on that. After a lot of data logging and fine tuning, I get ~45 mph @ ~75 using the cruise control.

I have been running my air pressure at 36 front and rear because that is what the bike calls for. I may have to increase them up to 42 and see about getting better MPG.

Yeah i keep mine at 40

I have got up to 225 a tank. Some where around 60 MPG I think. Open raod of course. Its been a long time since I checked it. I just pet the speedohealer on and have not checked it to see what the difference is. Acording to the chart the speed Omp was 5.2% off.

225 miles on a tank is 45 MPG. I get 225 miles on 5 gallons of gas twice a week from my 120 mile commute.

I have a 39 tooth sprocket that I need to put on with my new chain as soon as my digital caliper comes in.

 

[jch364]

i got 50 once when i was doing 55mph. amazing really when you think about it.

Stay in the tuck position as much as possible. That way, you cause less wind resistance and turbulence as well as look fast even if you are not going fast!!

LOL, yeah, tucking in at 35mph looks sooooo cool....

With average riding in city and highway I get 37 to 40 mpg. All highway 44 to 48 mpg. That is with +3 on the rear, full exhaust, tuned ecm, piper cross air filter, and a few smaller mods. Stock highway best was 55 mpg! Averaged 42/43 mpg city/highway.

52 per gallon here if i ride fast , ride like i stole it it drops to around 45
