yeah it must be a fluke, gonna gas up to the top tomorrow and see what happens before reserve kicks in.
On a side note: i drove by a middle school the other day, kids were getting out and i was stuck in the lineup to the stop sign. All the kids yelled and gave me the thumbs up and said "nice bike man!" so maybe theres hope yet for these youngsters.
2017 FLSTC and i get around 35 mpg in town and back roads combined. Strictly interstates and i get 40.
Only thing I've done is vance and Hines fp3 amd my slip ons re-done at American Customs. Probably gonna change a bit since I'm running it on auto tune at the moment but i dont figure much.
I know lame thread, I was out riding yesterday and the gas light came on at 120 miles. Ive had this bike for a year now so still getting familiar with it. Reserve kicked in a few miles later. I got a 2008 FXSTC that has a 5 gallon tank so wtf? maybe its a fluke, will fill it up to the top and try it again....I know reserve comes on at 1 gallon left, but still that makes it 30 miles to the gallon. No mods on the engine except stage 1 V&H exhaust, filter and an FP3. Bike runs great...I do tend to ride the **** out of it, came from a sport bike background so i do twist the throttle hard and ride mostly back roads like a bat out of hell. Very seldomly do i just cruise on the freeway, in fact i never do. what do you guys get for mileage?
After the rebuild on my Springer, I get around 40mpg. I've tested it many times and I can go about 160 miles before my gas light comes on, letting me know that I have about 1 gal reserve left.
