Unless he’s in a lower gear and using all his power constantly . . . ie rides like he’s being chased by the cops lol
Whats your gas mileage?

Yep.
You did this for a living recently, I did a long time ago, but occasionally will still help someone out, more geared towards Mercedes, Porsche, sometimes something else.
The few folks I have helped with motorcycles, it has always been something which comes my way about 10,000 miles after a pipe and a tune.
In every case I found we had to open the motor and clean, or decarbonize. It seems every bike which came my way was tuned for performance, with very little regard of what happens during normal fractional throttle open riding. So the result is a nice hp kick after tune and then once the motor gets fouled up, the performance is way below stock.
Too rich, give carbon deposits due to unburnt fuel, it interferes with dilution of cylinder wall lubrication and creates problems.
I have not had one running too lean, it seems the tuners always go the other way.
I have a buddy with a performance shop in Laurinburg, he does quite a few Busas, but he is not here on the board. He normally lets me use his equipment, in most cases I just go back to the stock map in ECU editor and then see if any further tweaking is needed.
We have 6 troopers total, maybe 2 on duty at a time for an area that’s 50 miles from town to the west, 65 miles from town to the east, about 80 miles south and 60 miles north. Rarely do you see one unless you need them and call.
Cool!
Alaska is on my bucket list, but not on a Hayabusa. Being there on a sub 300lb dual sport sounds like a dream though. What is possible, off the beaten track?
Maybe one day.
There are tons of dirt roads, trails, you can do the Denali Highway which is mainly gravel from the Richardson Highway over to the Parks Highway. You can do the normal head to Prudhoe Bay going up the Dalton Highway. There’s an abandoned copper mine headed toward Valdez, they say it’s really cool to go visit the attraction there.
I doubt that even then, low 20s would be impossible due to the metering of fuel in a fuel injected engine. My six carb Honda gets around 30 when I’m riding hard (high revs) in lower gears. The 79 CBX I used to have dipped into the high 20s when I rode it hard but even then, never the low 20s. My Kawasaki is a real wonder. No matter how I ride it I still get mid 40s, usually 46 mpg. The Busa gets 33-38+.

When I was commuting 120 miles a day for work on my bike I got 39-41 MPG.
I have a Yoshimura R77 4-2-1 exhaust, powercommander 5 with that tune, and a K and N filter. I also changed the plugs so, oil, chain, and sprockets so I know what I have.

I dont know my gas gauge doesnt work that great and I dont watch the mileage enough. I just ride and smile til the light comes on to feed him again, lol.
I know I never bought mine to save fuel........

Something is wrong with your feed as you often hit quote but not reply, the two have to be hit together or you end up just quoting....
Which appears to be annoying some members as I know isn't your intent....
Like others have said, depends how I ride, but even in stupid mode it's never under 35 mpg, never over ~43. With a 17/43 sprocket ratioBeen sitting around bored (like everybody lol) and got to thinking about gas mileage... either my math is way wrong, or, i get on the throttle a lot more than i thought i do. Sitting somewhere in the high 20s... even if that is accurate cant complain with current gas pricesjust wondering what do you guys get on your bikes with your riding styles? jiofi.local.html tplinklogin
Not sure although I've heard they are inaccurate before...
My light comes on and when I refuel, it doesn't take much to fill it...
