- Thread starter KnotSo
- Start date
I hit 120miles once when I forgot I was on reserve and I was just pussying it, First day at Daytona I rode the Dog all day Bar to Bar. Next morning I hit reserve at 85miles! Ask Skid!!! He always says I’m trying to do a wheelie!!!
I ride it like I stole it!!!
Ray gets about the same I think!
hell BBC, around town i get 42+ and on the highway i get over 50.

Looks like Knotso was bored at work!!!
Ok, here is the scoop:
I guess mpg is based on conditions. With my old tank (3.4 w/ .4 reserve = 3.8). Most gas I ever put in it was 3.8xx once when I ran it to 151 miles.
I usually would go 125 - 135 before refueling but one time I was able to go 151 miles on it.
On my trip yesterday leaving Palm Springs with a full tank I road over to LA then connected to I-5 and headed north. On the way to Redding, Ca where my truck was I stopped 3 times for fuel. This is what the miles and gallons were:
First stop 180 miles 4.3 gl 41.86 mpg
Second stop 171 miles 4.3 gl 39.76 mpg
Third stop 177 miles 4.7 gl 37.66 mpg
Final stop 160 miles didn't fill up cause bike was going in trailer.
I road 688 miles and only stopped the three times for fuel. On the second stop there was a bar next to the gas station so I had 2 beers. At the third I had to dress up cause it was getting dark and I was climbing in elevation and it was getting cold. Also on this third stop I hit reserve about a hundred yards from pulling into the gas station so that gives me an idea of what my tank now holds (plus reserve). Oh, I avg about 85 mph I would say most of the way.
I left Palm Springs in 85 degree weather at 11:00 am and arrived at Redding at 11:20pm.
Some of you guys had some good guestimates. :2thumbs:

BTW, FYI do you guys do same mileage? (I think there was a thread about it but can´t find it).
I am running 31 Inter, 78 Main & 60 Air-jet and it only burns 6 liters / 100 Kms. not bad at all... same as an HD Injection!
With a full tank (16 Liters) I can do 220-250 Kms. (155 Miles)
If I am not wrong that would be 39 - 40 Miles / Gallon
or 2,55 Gallons / 100 Miles.
That mileage is on the H/Way, cruising at 2500-3000 rpm (120-130 Km/h.) When Bar-Hopping definitely it eats alot more....
What do you think???

In town my K9 starts sputtering at 112 miles. On the road I get about 152 and hit reserve.
That's about what I get I can get 160 on a tank on the open road on my 117.
Thw 107 is a little better I can eek out 180 on a tank
