Fuel Mileage

[Jack Klarich]

Estimated from fuel economy tests on a sample motorcycle from the corresponding family conducted by Harley-Davidson under ideal laboratory conditions. Not all motorcycle models undergo fuel economy testing. Fuel economy and mileage may vary among motorcycle models within a family. Your mileage may vary depending on your personal riding habits, weather conditions, trip length, vehicle condition and vehicle configuration and While HD says 43 I am getting 55 now 1 up

I'd love to verify that for you but I cannot ride one up. Beautiful women keep throwing themselves onto my trike. Even on the interstate ....:clapping:

Pretty much the norm for me too. 32 - 33 mpg is what I usually get running around 60 - 65 mph in 5th gear. 70 - 75 mph in 6th gear will net 30 - 32 mpg. 55 mpg at any speed / gear combination would be great!

Well .... you do live in the flat State of Florida .... giving you a distinct advantage in miles per gallon. epper:

Same here (In Florida). I got 34-36 mpg on my 2015 FreeWheeler and am getting 40+ on my new M8. But 55? I'm a geezer and ride like one to get 40 so I'm dubious about 55. As somebody else said - deja vu.

Jack, are you sure your odometer is not set on kilometers? I have a friend with a 2016 Freewheeler who thought he was getting 55 MPG; discovered his odometer was set on kilometers.

@ 40 you should have 1 gallon of gas left are you using cruise and knocked out mufflers? I also have my heads vented so i aint sucking that oily water vapor in thru the throttle

I have de-catted the head pipe, added a K & N High Flow air filter element, added the Nightrider VIEDs and external vented the breather. Bike runs a little better but the mileage did not improve on my 2015 FW at all.

Question: Did de-catting the head pipe reduce gas mileage? My M8 roasts my ankle but I hate to disturb the factory programming.

At least on my 2011 103 it didn't....:Shrug:
