I agree, but most of the time I'm getting in the 40's. Once I can commute to work regularly I'll be curious as to my mileage. It's 40 miles round trip to work. Between rain and chilly *** mornings I've only brought her to work one day. I wish the weather would stay somewhat consistent. Plenty of good riding weather, just not riding at 6am and freezing my huevos off for 20 miles. LOL! Mother nature must still be PMSing!
poor mpg with new bike ???

That may give you an indication as to your poor mpg

yea i switched back to the two bros preset map set the low and mid range down 10% and everything seems to be on track now - did the switch with half a tank left and that tank put out 33 MPG - on this fresh tank i'm up to 80 miles with 2 bars down so i thinks i'm back on pace for high 30's Q- how can you tell if your running lean?? also I filled up at a different gas station ( i'm usually religious about using the same station) and now my MPG has rebounded significantly - super gas anyone? :sinister: ? muahahahaha
Q- how can you tell if your running lean?? also I filled up at a different gas station ( i'm usually religious about using the same station) and now my MPG has rebounded significantly - super gas anyone? :sinister: ? muahahahahaThe bars don't mean anything. Just have to wait till you do a fill up and divide the miles ridden by the gallons filled.yea i switched back to the two bros preset map set the low and mid range down 10% and everything seems to be on track now - did the switch with half a tank left and that tank put out 33 MPG - on this fresh tank i'm up to 80 miles with 2 bars down so i thinks i'm back on pace for high 30's
This is what I get with my bike. Currently has 3450 miles. Bought it brand new and all stock except for look pretty stuff haha. I personally dont know why my MPG varies so much because i know for a fact I ride the same way I do day in, day out and I rip on it quite often 9k+ rpms on a daily hahaha. Im not complaining tho because its still gets better mpg than my car.
Statistic of when I started recording my fill ups.
This is combined city and hwy BUT majority is hwy.

I get 30s to 40s with city riding, and got exactly 50MPG riding 2-up on an all-highway (rolling hills terrain) weekend trip. Bike is stock but naked with 4800 miles, and I have been practicing the suggested "keep it over 5K" rule with better MPG results.

Hey Sammo what app is that?
I recently started tracking my mileage with fuellog. Got 47mpg riding 2up in relaxed country roads and 41mpg riding fast reving pretty high on the highway to get back. Best so far is 55mpg that I got during breakin. Seems that 40-45mpg is the easily attainable norm with a mix of different type of riding.

My MPG seems pretty good. It's mostly stock 2014 with 4k miles on it. Only change is a +1 front sprocket. Get 40-45 commuting, 50 mi round trip on a combo city streets, country roads and freeway.
It surprised me on a longer trip. Didn't check the mileage for the full trip, 550+ miles. but checked the section I expected to be the worst. The first 150 miles, from Phoenix area (1000 ft above sea level) to Flagstaff (7000 ft). Delivering some stuff to my kid so the bike was loaded down, tank bag, top case and a full sized cooler on the passenger seat. Figured the elevation change and load would impact mpg. Freeway all the way, limited on time, so moving at a good clip. Very impressed with 50 mpg. Took 2.98 gallons in Flagstaff.

Maybe related to the mods?
