Yesterday I went on a 300 mile run.It was the first time I have ever done a mpg test. I was quite surprised actually. In town my bike sucks fuel.Maybe 30 mpg tops. On the highway though I got 47.5 mpg. Alot better than I had anticipated. Don

 

Glad to hear that. I was a tad concerned how mine would do on a trip. Around town and casual riding, my 09 FXDC is doing about as you described, a little over 30 mpg.

 

i get 43 no matter how i run it

 

Wow.. that must be nice. I get 32 in the city, and 38 highway.

 

Have no idea in the city..... don't check it..... highway about 46-48

 

I'm seeing about 43mpg on the interstates at 75-80mph. Don't ride much in the city, so I don't pay any attention.

 

Don
Thats outstanding considering your mods.
You got a great tune on that thing.....

 

VERY nice!!


It's good to see you didn't really lose mileage due to your high horses.


Mine is just at a stage 1, with not being broke in (a bit over 500 miles) and the last trip I averaged about 45 mpg with mixed riding, mostly highway.


I'd say with the extra 30 horses your bike is making...your doing very well!!!!!!!!

 

I get around 32-35 in the city and 50mpg on the highway.

 

Hate how all the same engines/trans give much different results on the harleys...

I get 30 city, about 41-41 highway...
