2006 Heritage Classic Fuel consumption problem
#21
OK...fuel light came on today after riding for 163 miles. That's not too bad for in/around town considering it was coming on before between 130 & 140. I'm curious what the numbers will be on straight highway riding? I don't want to point fingers at the PCIII just yet, and I'm trying to remain optimistic here. In it's defense, maybe I had a bad map? It did however, when hooked up, take care of the decel pop and rear cyclinder wasn't as hot. The only way to really dial the bike in is to take it to a certified dynajet center and have it dyno'd/mapped specifically for my bike. I may hook it back up, as another forum member sent me one of his maps, same setup as mine. If after hooking it up, I have the same issue with his map, then I'll know it's the PCIII for sure.

mileage update....
Been keeping track of mileage in/around town....last two fill up's, I put in approx 4.3 gallons...and drove 172 miles and 168...that's roughly 40mpg..not too bad. I think I may have figured out why my low fuel light keeps coming on "early". I have attached a picture from recently filling up my tank w/ 4.3 gallons. The bike is not on it's kickstand, it's level. Take a look at the needle on the gauge, it's way past the full line, on the "F". Does anyone know if there is a float arm in the tank that can be adjusted? (on a side note...my boss with the 05 heritage, just got back from Arlington Va, he said he filled up down there, pulled into his driveway here in Jersey, and light hasn't come on yet after 210 miles....said he rode hard too..around 70/75). That's nice mileage!!!!
