Default 103 mpg

what miles per gallon are people getting now out of the 103 engines for full stock or modified bikes?

Just checked my mpg this weekend. A 165 mi trip thru the mountains = 46.2 mpg. Most of the riding was in 4th & 5th gear, 50 mph. A couple of weeks ago I did 250 mi on mostly interstate roads, 5th & 6th gear & got 48 mpg. If I ride it harder, it drops to the low 40's mpg.

Overall not bad for a mild 103 build.

Have yet to run the tank dry to find actual range, but hand calculations are showing me 48-51 mpg with a PM a/c, V&H Propipe and PC-V download from Jamie at FM. Thinking that will shrink real soon as the Woods cams will be installed tomorrow

I'm getting in the high 30's, but I'm not always so easy on the throttle.

Anywhere from 36-40 mpg depending on how I control my right wrist and the conditions, etc. On a recent trip to Arizona I did get 45 on the highway, 70-75 mph on cruise control.

I get about 38 mpg, but that with the 103 kit including cams. Hard to tell exactly how much I put in to calculate the mileage, but I am sure I am pretty close.That is around town. I used to get a little better, but after switching to true duals I added more fuel to the low end to get rid of the popping and heat. I am happy where I am at now. I am also not very easy on the throttle starting from stop.
