MPG?

I'm trying to figure out the new ride.&nbsp\\; '06 FLHTCUI.&nbsp\\; Everything appears to be in good order.&nbsp\\; Stage 1 air cleaner and pipes, but only 32 mpg!&nbsp\\; What should I be looking at?&nbsp\\; My '05 was closer to 40.&nbsp\\; THX

RE: MPG?

I'm not particularly happy with mine either. Maybe I need a retune. I don't get too great even when I'm gentle.

RE: MPG?

1) not set-up right for max MPG
2) excessive wrist movement

With set-up below I get 40+ MPG AVG.

RE: MPG?

I had the Stage 1 kit and V&amp\\;\\\\\\;H Basics on mine and was getting 38 mpg. I put a V&amp\\;\\\\\\;H Fuelpak on and on my last trip, my mileage went up to 40-43, depending on how hard I rode it. That basically works out to an average of 20 more miles per tankful, which = $2.00 every tankful.
