Default FLH MPG???

Just wondering what kind of mileage everyone is getting with their FLH. For some reason mine sucks and is getting worse. I have an FLHX with Stage 1 and rejet. I am getting anywhere from 26-30 mpg. I am switching over to reserve anywhere between 120-130 miles.

I was getting 47 mpg before the gear driven cams were installed.....had 203's. Still think it is close to that, haven't run a whole tank through yet. Something is very wrong with your mapping. At least you know it isn't lean..........get it to a tuner whether it be the dealer or someone else. You might as well be throwing fuel on the ground.
