I read the posts about people getting 45 to 55 MPG from a Ultra Classic?
I have a 06 Ultra Classic stock with K&amp\\;N filter and SE slip-ons and HD map stage1, M880's with 140 on the rear, 10000 mile service with new plugs, Mobile 1 oils all-around. I'm 265 + 810(bike) = 1075lbs. Best mileage I have ever gotton was 41.6 mpg 1 time. I full-up with about 4.6 or 4.7 gallons (93 Oct) on aveage per tank and only get 36 to 38 mpg no more. I keep my hand off the thottle not big running light to light.
The only riding I have gotton in, in the last few months is from work and back going no more than 50 to 55 mph. Would someone please explain to me how you are getting these types of aveages 45 to 55 MPG.

Thanks

i agree i even set my afr to 14.7 and went through a couple tanks and still could't get an exact 50 mpg close but no cigar

 

I can't give you a reasonable explanation other than my scoot IS bone stock.&nbsp\\; No engine, muffler or air cleaner mods. No SERT, or PC III. Right off the showroom floor stock. I get 44 mpg consistently.&nbsp\\;

BTW Biff, you are good to go.

 

Basic Stage 1 on my 07 Road Glide and I always AVG 42+ even with California Crap Gas. Highest Hwy was 46mpg. And I dont ride like a sissy???

 

i have an 03 flht and around town and heavy on the throttle i get 41 mpg on 93 octane last weekend i went on a 200 mile ride and at 168miles we filled up&nbsp\\; and i got 49 mpg&nbsp\\; i think the difference was the way we rode it was easy steady throttle all back roads 55mph&nbsp\\; this week i rode to work every day 8 mi to work heavy on the throttle half the time and i got 37mph . my bike is stock map with se air filter, and duel exhaust, i think there rush slip ons they came with the bike there's no markings on them,it only spits a little i live with it

 

I have an 08 EGC, I check the mileage on every fill and it usually is 40 - 42 mpg. The best I ever had was 45 mpg. That was from one gas station to another on a rural highway trip.

 

My 07 gets about 48 on the road. It's got the SERT with stage 1 tuning.

 

If I am easy on the playing I average an honest 44 but mostly around 38 to 40.

 

I have an 05 EGC, no motor work, no after market pipes/ac etc.............right off the floor. Bought the bike brand new. I have 33k on it now..........and always get 47mpg always, unless something's wrong............had a bad plug once and it suffered down to about 42................soon as I replaced it back to 47. Dunno why some are up there and others not, but it just is!

 

Even with all my mods and crap Cali gas I consistantly get 42+ mpg.
