Fuel mileage dropping
2017 Ultra limited, Stage 3, Screaming eagle pipes, I used to get over 300 miles to a tank and nom I am lucky to get 210. Dealer says that it is within parameters for a stage 3 upgrade. at 1200 miles I was still getting 270 miles tank and at 6000 miles I am down to 200 to 210. Has anyone else experienced similar issues

"used to get over 300 miles to a tank"!!!
That is amazing!
I've never got more than maybe 230 miles out of a 6 gallon fill. At that point I was burning fumes and needing gas badly.
My 2018 RGU is good on mileage, better than my 2016 Ultra was. I'm getting consistently above 40 mpg. I think that is pretty durned good.
To get 300 miles out of a tank of 6 gallons would mean over 50 mpg. I suppose that is possible, if I would ride 30 mph all the time.
Are you certain you're doing the math right?

My bother and I both got 53 MPG on our trip to Milwaukee for the 115. Of course, Ohio and Indiana are flat as a pancake. My reserve reading at one gas stop said 332 miles to go! I have a Stage 2 SE setup, brother is bone stock with the same reading. 2018 RGU stage 2 and a 2017 Ultra Limited Stock

Question for the high mpg guys? Are u figuring it out or going by the dumba$$ computer in the info center. I can get 49-50 on info center. But it's never much more than 44 actual. Running 75-90mph one trip thru Missouri Illinois Indiana Ohio it was 40-41 mpg. But I have never seen a bike go 300 miles on a tank....if you were doing that wow!

We didnt believe it at first either, so we wrote down the mileage and fuel and went on our way, the next stop sure enough over 50 mpg. I was shocked. Straight as an arrow, flat run though so I guess it makes sense. I normally get 250-260 per tank. Oh and we were doing 65 the whole way.
