NOMAD MPG
Just got back from Knoxville TN and got 39 + round trip. Pretty much not any faster than 75 and mostly around 55.

@dlander,
Maybe someone mentioned it but I was recently advised to clean my throttle body. The buildup around the butterfly valves with toothbrush and acetone/seafoam/mineral spirits. I did this and my mpg jumped from 28 to 36. My bike was bone stock at the time. Nimbo |

Yesterday I was able to get 320 miles in, all highway. Participated in a ride from Philadelphia PA to Washington DC and back, and pretty consistantly rode 70mph, sometimes faster, sometimes slower, but all in 5th. Averaged 44 mpg on the two fuel stops we made.
