#763385 erbus (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 29 Mileage 3 Years, 10 Months ago   So I've installed the Baron's kit on my 2000 R*. Baffled long shots, high flow air cleaner, 170 main (c clip 4th groove,spacer,washer), 35 pilot, PMS 2 1/2 turns. What is a good gas mileage (US mpg)to obtain from an R? I've been hearing in the 50's. Thanks Terry   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #763390 Tug (User) RIDE FREE. LIVE FREE. Platinum Boarder Posts: 9855 Re:Mileage 3 Years, 10 Months ago   If you get 42 mpg you're doing great. I average 36 I think people who say they get 50+ need to recheck their math   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/04/17 12:01 By Tug.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #763394 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Mileage 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Just depends on how you ride and where you ride. In town from red light to red light will be lower, highway will be a lot higher at 65 mph and the faster you go the less you get.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #763396 75kona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1153 Re:Mileage 3 Years, 10 Months ago   Tug wrote: If you get 42 mpg you're doing great. I average 36 I think people who say they get 50+ need to recheck their math I got 62mpg once puttering in high gear through Yellowstone National Park with lots of downhill, best I have ever gotten!! But I’m with Tug on this one. Mid 40’s is a great average for these bike. I average between 42mpg and 45mpg.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #763403 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Mileage 3 Years, 10 Months ago   erbus wrote: So I've installed the Baron's kit on my 2000 R*.

Depending on how you ride, and were, best case, 'you might' get close to 50. I'm happy with 42 mixed highway and in town, without being to aggressive. A lot, depends on your riding style   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #763410 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride! Just ride!

Just remember to lean forward a bit in the saddle, so you don't waste it. Have you tinkered with your carb yet, or are you still waiting for somebody to come visit?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #763413 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride!

You guys and your riding style I don't get how you ride unless your always going down hill with a tailwind! Your MPG is being cut by bag drag! Bags in the wind are like a sheet of plywood when it comes to aerodynamics plus many are full of iron. And yes I am now experiencing that now. My MPG dropped when I got an accurate speedo! Oh and Danny aren't you a scared old man anyway?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #763417 SKWEARpeg (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 12885 Re:Mileage 3 Years, 10 Months ago   My wife is making noises that sound like "Grand Canyon", and I don't think it's something she's eaten. You just never can tell.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
