Default 42 mpg

Just thought I'd post what I'm getting for fuel milage. 11 SG with Fuel Moto Dyno Jet slip ons, Stage 1 aircleaner, and Power Commander V with map from Fuel Moto. Tank after tank I'm averaging 41 to 42mpg and I'm not taking it easy, accelerating aggresively and running 70 to 75 mph. Been real pleased with the setup from Fuel Moto and want to add their headpipe soon.

I just got the standard map. Didn't ask for anything different. Also, the bike has about 3,500 miles on it now. How many miles are on your bike. Early on when the milage was maybe under a thousand and no mods had been done to the bike yet, I was getting around 32mpg. Did the mods sometime after a thousand and didn't check mileage for along time. Was pleased when I did check it at how strong the bike runs and how hard I run it and the milage I'm getting.

You should be happy with 42, especially based on your more aggresive driving style. I knew a guy with a bagger who always bragged about his 50+ mpg tune. Then one day I went on a long ride with him, hell I went from my normal low 40s to his 50s too. The next day I took my bike for a high speed jaunt to blow the cobs out, this probably brought my long term average back to normal again.
