Gas mileage---again!

motomi1 · 06-16-2012, 11:01 AM

Did a small run with the Vaq and kept speed to 70 by speedo (probably closer to 65) and 2500 rpms. Computer showed 51.1mpg which I knew was optimistic so I checked with gallons used and miles-- 101.1 miles and 2.155 gallons of mid-grade for a mpg of 46.91. If the miles are close this mileage is the best yet (10,000 miles on bike) and proof that riding reasonably will give pretty fair mileage. I am running a Thunder air kit, V&H slip ons and a PCV with a personalized map (thanks AzCruzer). The above combination plus the RacnRay throttle mod has made me very, very happy with this bike!
