Stage 1's with a 103" MPG
What kinda MPG you guys getting with the 103 and a stg 1. IE air filter, header pipe and slip ons and "tune or cert"?
The reason I ask is Ive just gotten within the last 3 weeks a 13 FLHTK and love it. ( I left behind a 05 FLHTCI with tons of eng work, 95"kit, SE heads, 10.5 pistons SE 203 cams Billet cam plate, V&H staggered Big shots W/baffels and a PC III and tune) and was getting 42-45 even 2-up. I did the heavey breather V&H touring power header and Hi-output slip ons and they supposedly did a tune on it.....Im gettin 38 MPG consistantly after 2k....
just wandering if I can get it retuned for better or thats about it??

I've been averaging between 38-40 mpg mixed city/hwy so far, since "completing" the Stage 1. A LOT depends on my right wrist, tho. And for me, I commute in heavy traffic so that has an impact as well (e.g. sitting in traffic then hauling *** around cages in the commuter lanes vs. leisurely rambling along country roads).

My riding Pal with a 2011 FLHTK 103" S/E air cleaner, V&H power duals and M/O's gets the exact MPG I get ( tested over thousands of miles) avg. 43 MPG cruising at 65~70 MPH on 2 lane roads.
he has NO TUNER- bike runs fine.
( I have an 09 96" Ness BS, no cat header, tuned Nightsticks and XIEDS, same speed, same MPG)

The stealership supposedly re-mapped my ECM...but we all know how that works out. Since it still has the O2 sensors it should adjust itself for that but......??

Where do you get yours serviced at and do they have a problem with the PCV? And did you stick with the stock head pipe since you had have them cut and welded on?
