I road about 1/2 in the city and 1/2 on the highway crusing at 75 MPH with some 115 MPH bursts. I am leaving this MAP right where it is after getting over 38 MPG with the bike is running awsome.

That's how much I get if use the freeway also.

Hey Bill are you using the stock 30 tooth or a 28 tooth?
Thanks Ian

mileage

With my stock 03 I average 44 mpg, I'm putting on some v-mod pipes and a power commander this week, is my mileage going to drop. The worst I ever got was 38 once and the best was 48 with the wife on back.

I am running a 28 tooth. In about a couple weeks I am changing out the wheels and putting on the 240 Hog Pro kit.

Damn! That's outstanding!

 

[whiskerbiscuits]

After a year of riding, my average is only 32 mpg.

I have a new 5 gallon tank ready for install tomorrow.

Run a map RJ had made from a dyno tuner. I have it and get 38mpg-45mpg regularly with the same setup you are moving to. I cannot find the link at the moment, but I had dyno'd my V-Rod stock at 105hp at the wheel. Using the same dyno on the same day after swapping for the V-mod tips and adding the PCIII with RJ's map, I was putting down 113hp at the wheel. We're in the same relative climate, so I'd suspect you get closely similar results.

Thanks for the info, I'm getting my pc from fuel moto and they're going to map it. If I'm not happy with that I'll have to try you'rs.

I say that you're gas mileage will definitely drop. The PC is adding fuel, and now you have louder pipes, more power, and will be pounding on it more frequently.

It is interesting that I too also had my best fuel mileage with my girlfriend on the back. I am still trying to figure out why.

I still only get about 28 MPG around town (rarely above 3rd gear and 4000 RPM's). Does this sound right? I got around 37 MPG the one time I had it on the open highway so I thought it was probably ok. Even that was easy riding/RPM's so now I'm beginning to wonder again?

I was getting less than 30 when I first started riding. I guess I had the "lead hand". After installing the PCIII/K&N/VMods, I took a ride up into the Blue Ridge and down I-77 Sunday after topping off 1.7 gallons. I checked the odo today and it was 81 miles later. I topped off again...once again 1.7 gal. That's 48 mpg.

Are Your V-mods Se 1 Or Se 2 ? Getting Ready To Ship Mine Whats The Best For Performance.

175 miles to a tank

I got 175 miles to my last tank. I love the DX!!!

 

[pegdragger]

I think my average is about 10mpg.... :rofl: I actually get 75 miles before the light comes on. My math may not be exact but I think thats about 37 mpg or so.

Because you're not into the throttle near as much. When I ride with my wife, I tend to take it much easier and can get 47 mpg. When I ride solo, I am running somewhat harder and faster and I only get 35-40. My bike is completely stock.

heck if I know...didn't even know there was a difference

28 MPG sounds like you are running rich. It seems like I get 37-38 now in the city. I was getting about 33 MPG before I leaned out the low range some. I was way too rich from 2500-3500 RPM. I also gained some power too when I leaned it out some.
