I've got a 1600 with a Chucksters intake, V&H FuelPak and V&H duals so I'm no help but what do you consider crappy mpg?

BC RED VAQ · 02-21-2012, 02:12 PM

I went from 44 to 38 and less depending how I ride

Big Reyn · 02-21-2012, 02:52 PM

I have the same set up on my 2010 Voyager, I haven't been able to put enough miles on it to determone the MPG with thiis set up.

Big Reyn when you give your VV quick throttle from idle do you have a dead spot

Jackag · 02-21-2012, 07:00 PM

There is a fix for that

redjay · 02-21-2012, 07:45 PM

Whats the fix ?

Jackag · 02-21-2012, 09:35 PM

There are people doing throttle mods, e mail me and I will provide names and number, some are less money than others. Had mine done and have to be real careful on the throttle, no lack of response.

Chris does yours have that dead spot from idle

Big Reyn · 02-22-2012, 02:12 PM

Mine has the dead spot also, I plan to get some ISO Grips and have the throttle mod done. Jackag, can you PM me the name and numbers for the fix. Thanks

Try barryge@comcast.net for the throttle mod. He did mine, and it's great

When i had slip-ons on my Vaquero, along with my own big air kit and a PCV i custom mapped on my dyno, i averaged 44 mpg. I remember one ride up US 27 to have lunch on Lake Okeechobee where we averaged about 65 mph i had 53.4 mpg showing on the dash.
High speeds going into a headwind kills the mpg for sure, as does stop and go city driving.
