MPG

[keiffathome]

Hi, can any other brit captains tell me what there rocket does to the gal.
I've got K&N replacement air filter and cat box removed, and I'm getting 33mpg. Does this sound about right :shock:

That will depend greatly on your right hand.

Ian, can you be called a "Brit captain"? I'm sure in sure roundabout way you are. :lol:
btw, I hope you get the bike sorted prior to 4/17.

If you want 50+ I recommend you join "Run For The Wall" this Spring in California. You'll spend a week doing 50 mph all off-throttle in a herd of Harley's. I was getting 52 MPG towing a trailer. :shock: :x On the trip home just me and 2 other riders my fuel economy went to crap. About 33 MPG. 8)

The important question is WHICH gallon are you referring to?

There's a .76 litre difference between US and Imperial gallons.

Keiff,

No, this is terrible. You must be taking it far too easy. :wink: Open the bloody throttle man!!

Only kiddin mate. You're doing very well to get that MPG. I'm lucky to see 26, but I have a supercharger. I was getting between 28 and 32 on a standard one with standard filter and CAT delete and ToRs. Depends on whether you're cruising on the Motorway or riding like a tw@ around the countryside.

I've never bothered working out the mpg, but I get between 120 and 170 miles to the tankful, depending on how playfully I ride it.

It's been so long I forget what a bone stock one should get..

I do know it will vary a lot based on quality of fuel, altitude, tire pressure etc etc etc..

I've gone 140 miles on a single tank and still wasnt dry on the highway.

one of these days I want to strap a gas can on and see how far she will go on a tank at reasonable American highway speeds ( 75-80mph)

last cross country ride I did, all the metric cruisers were on vapors at 140 mile stops we planned and I rarely needed more then a half a tank.

I get between 27 and 33 with standard filter, cat delete and ToRs.
I keep saying I'll ride slowly to see how much I can get per gallon, but then I start the engine and forget all about it.
Oh well there's always next time.
