Default 2010 Fatboy mpg?

I did a Stage one upgrade before I took the bike out the door.. VH Big Radius and SE Heavy Intake.

Anyone got an idea on what the average MPG should be with these upgrades?

I had a Stage 1 installed before I took delivery on my '07 Fatboy. I get 35-37 mpg most of the time. Under optimal conditions, no stop-and-go, all highway I might get 42 MPG.

If you have to ask......LOL!!!

The only thing that the stage one mapping did to your EFI mapping was to richen the idle. Short of that it should actually be more efficient now that it can breath and exhale better....But now that it also sounds better you will be on the gas all the time to enjoy that sweet Harley Rumble resulting in worse mileage then a bone stocker!!!

Now if you go buy an actual EFI programming device of some sorts? PC111, SERT, Etc..etc.. and you have the bike tuned by a pro on a dyno he will richen your fuel mapping to make max power by watching not only the power produced by the bike on the dyno but also the air fuel ratios.....

As it stands your bike is EPA mandated "Enviro-Friendly Tuned" from the factory. That stage one download did nothing to effect that short of giving it more fuel at idle so it dosent get so hot.

If that's all it does I might change my mind on Stage 1. I like the way my bike runs now and am getting 45 - 47 mpg.

It does sound nice, but you're telling me there is no performance boost with the stage 1 upgrade alone? Dang.

With the stage one there is a small increase in performance add a PCV and it will be even more
