How many MPG's do you get ??
« on: July 09, 2008, 04:12:57 PM »
I usually don't care about this topic, but because I was curious, I checked it on my 00 SERG yesterday. The bike is bone stock and it got 45 mpg's with one up and mixed traffic. Hey, that might make us green or something. Doc

38-40 mpg on the 07 jester.   Above 80 mph, theoretically, less than 35 mpg.



Heard a song about a feller with green teeth once.  Never been green myself.....

I imagine two up with the Bushtec would send me into the 30's. I'll check it next trip.

Close to what my buddies with trailers (Bushtecs) get - 30-35. 

I notice below 70 mph - easy country roads - can get 40 or a little better just cruising.  Above 70 starts dropping like a rock the way this bike is tuned.  But its FUN to ride.

38 - 45, always one-up. Wife's almost-stock 88 RK consistently gets 3 mpg more than me (and she has no fear of the throttle).

Haven't pulled the trailer with the SERG yet.  So no data there.  Pulling the trailer with the SEEG at 75mph on the interestate sees 33-37 depending on winds.  Without the trailer both bikes are getting in the 38-40 range.  Don't know for sure but that has to be close.  Both have done 45 on tank fulls on state roads that required 55-60 mph.

Last Saturday I did a lot of freeway at 75-85 and got about 32mpgs. I'm sure that if I dropped the speed to 55-65 I'd get much better. Last summer running through the mountains and elevation I was in the low to mid 40s. My build is NOT that radical, and I'm running the Zippers kit with MAP 307. But Zippers did tell me that my mpgs would come down, but the bike would run better and cooler.
