i have a 2008 ultra...10,000 miles...just did the stage one download, got true duels, new air intake, and rinehart pipes. now my mileage SUCKS.
is this normal?

 

Define sucks?? 10 mpg? 20??

 

it looks like it was cut in half. will check more accurately later. is it normal for mileage to drop after a download?

 

Maybe 5-10% drop would be normal...

 

mine was 36 mpg til they put it back on the dyno after 1000 leaned out the rear cylinder and went to 40 then at 10k leaned it a little more and now Im getting about 44......

 

so.....no loss of power, and not running much hotter????

 

Never rode it without and I have never had a heat problem.Its a little warmer than my 03 RKC was but its a little bigger motor......I rented an 09 ultra in Fl. in feb... total stock and it was hotter.. much warmer than mine... I rode it 650 miles... Key west and back from FT.Myers It had slightly more torque on the very low end, but thats the only thing i liked about it missed my True duals .......This is post 100 should get promoted!!!!1

 

heat and horse power is not the issue.....mileage is.

 

Well as a comparison I am getting 39 MPG riding the 124 hard. If you cant get in the 40s there is something wrong.

 

Older bikes like mine don't do quite as well on gas mileage, but with a 2008 you should surely be at least 40+, IMHO. Again, it depends on what you are calling "sucks."
