RE: Two-up mileage ??
ORIGINAL: 84sugar
On a recent 100 mile hop with the wife, the mileage on my '96 EG was barely 30mpg. My 84 fxr gets well over 40. Are the EG #'s normal for two-up? Thanks.

My 06 (carb) stock got 42 with wife and 45 with just me.
With pipes,mufflers,big sucker,jets,etc.
I get 38 two up and 40 even running single.
Runs like a champ and cooler too.

My wife and I weigh about 450 together and we averaged about 42 mpg on our last trip on the Ultra. We ran 70-75 most of the way.

RE: Two-up mileage ??
Y'all keep in mind that the OP has an Evo, and Evos traditionally get better mileage than TC's, all other things being equal. I wish my new SG would get the mileage my Evo RK did, but it ain't gonna happen, even with all the high-tech add-ons and tweaking in the world. Considering that, his mileage is atrocious and his jetting is likely way off.
