I average about 55 mpg. Maybe someone can explain my fillups. When my fuel light comes on, I head for a station. I have yet to put more than 3.7 gallons in. The specs say my Deuce has a 4.9 gallon tank. Any thoughts?

Yep, I'm thinking a retune might be in order for me too, but I am waiting to change my exhaust.&nbsp\\; I pulled my plugs yesterday, not too sooty and no oil residue to indicate oil fouled or too rich.&nbsp\\; Maybe running a bit rich, but better than too lean I guess.

95" motor with 102 ft lbs of TQ and 96 HP
&nbsp\\;
I get 42 mpg at 75 mph on the freeway and 45-47 when I'm on a 2 lane road at 60 mph.
&nbsp\\;
Your bike should be getting much better than 30 mpg........you're running way too rich.
&nbsp\\;
Hope this helps out with your question.........
