Bad gas mileage???
I am consistently getting about 30 - 33 mpg on my 2007 Ultra. I have the SE Air Cleaner, Rinehart slip-ons, and the PC III with the appropriate map from Jaime. I have about 4000 miles on it and the most I have ever gotten out of a tank is 170 miles (all highway). Usually I am putting 4 1/2 to 5 gallons at 140 - 150 miles on the trip meter. I ride to work every day 17 miles each way and put a couple hundred miles on the weekends with my girl on back. I am getting ready for the long trek to SD in a few weeks and I want to do something to better my mileage if possible.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

RE: Bad gas mileage???
That's very abnormal for you to get this kind of mileage. You said you used a PCIII map from a person, but did you ever get your bike dyno'd to get the actual print out of the numbers? I'm curious to know what fuel/air mixture ratio your bike is set at. I would say that this is your main culprit, and you should go ahead and get your bike dyno'd and get some true numbers.

RE: Bad gas mileage???
Jeffer,
Your bike needs to be broken in a little more before your mileage improves. Right now, your engine, trans, and primary are running in fluids that will need to be changed at the 1k service. Once your drive train gets new, fresh, fluids, your mileage should improve. Then, if you go to Synthetic oil (after 5k), your mileage will improve further.
