What kind of mileage should i be getting? I am still within the 1000 mile break in period?

Thanks in advance

 

That is a loaded question. It all depends on riding style. Typically though you could see about 29 mpg to 32 mpg if you are not heavy on throttle. But if you are on interstate a lot in 6th gear, may run down as far as 26 mpg.

 

My 12 with stage two gets an average of 32 mpg. That's riding 60 to 70 mph. On the interstate or against the wind it goes down. Seems to me the newer ones get better mileage. The last three new bikes I've had all got better after 5000 miles.

 

I haven't started keeping track and I have just under 4,000 when I filled up today. I know for sure I am not getting close to what my Ultra was. I figure the TG is of course heavier, more wind resistance, plus it is geared different.

 

I went to pensacola from crestview, about 35-50 miles. It took 3 gals of fuel for that ride and back. Total miles 100.
Does that sound right. Vary speed between 60 - 70 mph, interstate speed.
Thanks

 

Yes, that sounds about right, give or take a mpg you are right in where you should be.
Really depends on wind, hills, ext. Next time you could get less than 33 mpg, or if wind to your back you could get 34 mpg. The other thing that affects mpg is altitude. When we ride out west we can get as high as 38-40 mpg in the mountains.

 

I got about 33 mpg avg on my '16 TriGlide

 

To accurately calculate MPG... You will have to fill the tank ''exactly'' with the same amount of gas every time.. Even a few tenths of a gallon one way or another with a 6 gallon tank will throw off your figures.. .There is no Kentucky windage in figuring out gas millage...

 

When I was driving for a living, fleet said that they only figured mileage by averaging 20 tanks of gas, to reduce that 'fill to the top' error. Figuring like that, I get 37.16 MPG on the free...

 

For what it's worth, my phone app says 33.334 average for my '14 Tri Glide after 15,000 miles or 102 fillups for 449.88 gallons. 26 to 43 mpg. 146 miles per fillup. That includes a wide variety of roads from plains to mountains.
