What's all this talk of rpm on a stock FXDC.............how would you know you're cruising between 2500-3000?

2012 models have a gear/rpm mode on the odometer. I usually run with it up.

Yeah as far as the fuel mileage, the light comes on at 30 miles on the range, rode it another 20ish miles, had like 13 on the range when it took 3.7. As far as checking on the gallon, I didn't even average it on it's own just added the numbers to the previous fill.

With dynoing it, the SERT(or whatever the newst model is) requires a Dyno run for original setup, and once it's mapped you can then tune it later with a laptop.

I'm battling back and forth currently as far as the direction to go with upgrades, so think I'll just wait on the ecm route decision. I'll keep my eyes open for a deal on some slip-ons for the time being.

The light on fuel is telling you your low, to give you 30-40 miles to find a station. Not everyone has a station on every corner.

Yeah my light is just wonky it looks like. Rode it past zero on range today light was on a good 35 miles, just said low range the last 5. (Could tell there was still fuel in the tank). Took all of 4.2 gallons filling it up.

221 miles on 4.2 gallons, so 50+mpg continues. Figure I'm just gonna call 220 my range for the time being. Gotten to the point where it's time to schedule the 1000 mile. 650 on the odometer and sunday/monday off.

Now weighing slip ons or forwards first.

That's some good mileage. Keep an eye on classifieds here on the forum for both forwards and slip ons. Or post a wanted thread in the classifieds.
