I dunno how yens do it.

I get about 125 mile to a full tank around town and 160-170 on the Hwy.

My bike is direct link tuned so all the parameters were touched tweaked and altered.

Must be my 10:5-1 Compression and greedy *** ported heads. My next motor mod is gonna be a bigger throttle body...Arrrrgh.

You guys that like getting those big MPG numbers?

Stay as close to stock as you can whilst still making pleasant noises!!!

I have the same setup as "Citoriplus" (BR 2-2, Thundermax w/autotune, stage 1 intake), and I am currently getting about 32.5 mpg (14 kpg) around town, so that sounds about right. I haven't really taken 'er out on the highway much, so I can't say what hwy mpg would be, but the numbers change pretty dramatically on long cruises. The beauty of the T-Max is that I can tweak it for better fuel economy, if I want.
