I'm right around 140 miles a tank, but with the cold weather where I'm at (colorado) the warm up time is killing my mpg, I also think my bike wants to kill me for riding in such cold weather sometimes lol!

Wow Cletus,

That seems awful low. Is your bike geared differently ? Down in front or up in the rear ? How well does it run ?

I just seem to get 50-53 mpg whether tootling along to work or riding briskly in the mountains, it never seems to vary and the bike has always run like a dream...

just kindof a thought to go along with the MPG question, what rpm do you guys usually cruise at? if im on a moderately short straight-away I'll have it in like 5th or 6th gear and run as low of rpm as i can. but I dont always do that cause I've heard on here the batt doesnt charge at low rpms

ummm, yes, its -1+3 with a jet kit, and itstill gets to 125-130 really quick, its almost scary, cause its still pulling really hard when i get out of the throttle and there arestill a few numbers before redline. So it makes me wonder when folks are talking about loosing an excessive amount of topend when they play with sprokets. it makes me laugh sometime when I have friends ask me am I worried about loosing speed. Sorry for the long explanation. Yes it runs real good

Actually, with your setup you lose approximately 22mph for the theoretical max speed at redline, or 20mph for the speed at max power.

Although technically, with a stock top speed of 154mph (says the magazines), you'd only lose 5mph of TRUE top speed.
