I get an average of 45mpg. I've never actually figured it out but that's close.

07 ultra, pipes tuner and air cleaner. 36-40. I've never gotten over 40... but then again, I can't get more than 8K out of a rear tire either. Maybe there's a correlation ..... I don't think "there's something wrong" if you're not getting over 40MPG. There are a host of variables that contribute to gas mileage. Riding style, conditions, 1 or 2-up, mods etc.

I must be running rich. The bike had the tuner on it when I bought it, no idea of what map it's running. I suppose I'll be in touch with Fuel Moto soon.

Never actually calculated mine, but I would say it's between 36-40. Mine is a se 103 with cams, fatcat, and air cleaner. Tuned with sert. I've seen some times where an extra gallon of fuel would have been nice.
