Author Message   Snojet Posted on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 05:37 pm:        After my bike has gone over 15K and with the some recent work done, my gas mileage has gone up significantly. Before I was always averaging around 46-47mpg. Now I am averaging 50-52mpg and that's with no change in my driving style. When the bike isn't acting up, it runs like a champ too. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what really took place here. You see I have been chasing a problem (actually still have it) and have replaced a couple of components. The items that have been changed in the last couple of month are the ECM, Exhaust Valve Actuator, and installed the Comfort Kit. Anyway, I want to post something positive. Happy Riding....   Buellerxt Posted on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 05:45 pm:        Very cool, Snojet. That's great mileage. Thanks for posting it.   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 06:03 pm:        My 1125CR does better   Hughesatron Posted on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 06:07 pm:        I have an '06 with 18k. I installed the comfort kit and have been tweaking my ECM with ECM spy. I get between 50-55 mpg regardless of riding style. I just installed some new tires (pilot road 2s), so we'll see if my mpg changes now. I doubt worn tires would really affect mpg that much (less rubber = smaller wheel diameter = inaccurate mileage calculated by ECM), but it could.   Idaho_buelly Posted on Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 06:47 pm:        I just got back from an awesome 1365 mile 4 day trip and got some better then ever mileage,now I was running around the 5-6,000' elevation but 65-75 mph..58-59 mpg,bike(09X) has 13,000..It just keeps getting better and better!! Sync tires,20-50 amsoil/K&N air cleaner/Erik Buell Racing ECM/Drummer exhaust..The bike ran absolutely flawless the whole trip...   Gunut75 Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2010 - 07:50 am:        I have an 05 XB12R, and the same thing is happening. I'm knocking on the door of 13K miles, and my mileage is going up too. I got 46-48 last season, and am getting 52 this season. I haven't had to do anything but standard maintenance. Knock on wood. Froggy, what kind of mileage can you get on a Uly?   Froggy Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2010 - 08:55 am:        60-65MPG is normal for me, my peak is 75. My CR has previously peaked at 54mpg, I am sure I can do better this summer   Jessemc Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2010 - 09:52 am:        '06 XB12X @ 7.5K (a baby). 51.2MPG average over a four day trip covering over 1600 miles. Lots of third and fourth gear riding - best mpg between fill ups 57.2, lowest 47.44. Grin factor and mpg seem to rise together   Hacksaw Posted on Thursday, July 01, 2010 - 10:12 am:        I have work to do on my 06 Uly, only got 31 mpg around town and some twisty riding. Has about 8000 miles on it.   Barkbuster Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - 01:27 pm:        Borrowed a rear wheel for the weekends ride and got a new personal high of 48.6 mpg on Sundays ride 2-up. Bike is back at shop and wheel is returned waiting for an 2010 replacement   Union_man Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2010 - 11:47 pm:        Mine got better at about 15,000. Better yet at 20,000.
