Sorry for screamin,
Just wondering if the low mileage is because of the 2008I heard they changed the cam in the o8 models
I winder if that screwed up the mileage.

Keep in mind your bike is probably not broken in yet and the weather is cool, both of which affect mileage negatively. Expect a few MPG better after a few K miles and warmer weather. Synthetic oil will likely help a bit, too, but wait 'til around 1-2k before weaning the bike from fossil oil.

I do not think anyone mentioned so I will...I ride w/ all wifes and mygear...rain, cold(sweatshirts), leathers, gloves, polishes, towels, maps...ect...I keep the rear trunk for what I pick up along the way. My point is that my fuel mileage is effected because of my weight...I check my mileage every time I can, just because I like to, it entertains me...Anyway...because of this weight I put a rear tire on at 3000 miles...which the weightdoes effect my mileage. I am willing to say I could get 48-50 w/ no weight (gear)
~2 up 39-40 Trips
~Just me 39-45
07 Ultra
TD V&H 1.75 Rush
TMAX
I love to turn the throttle...

Whoever is getting 45+ must be just putting around town I guess i drive pretty hard cause I'm lucky to get 30-32mpg on my 08SG with woods cams, sert ,and a 2-1 pipe just had it dynoed and tuned so no need for tweeking it is purring now.
I prob could get 40-45 if i tried but thats no fun riding like that
I live in San Jose and have almost 10k on my scoot already.
No Complaints
