MNRider,

Did you take John Sachs advice and contact the guy he recommended to do your tune?

I spoke to the dealer and they said they can lean it out. But it would not be good for the life of the motor in the long run. The shop is sticking to they did a good job and it runs fine. I left for my trip today. All day ran around 85mph and only got 27-30mpg. The wind was around 30mph so it was a bad day to get a good read on it. Now that I'm moving to Colorado I'm going to get it tuned again and hope it is better I see what choice I have.

The dealer isn't going to say "Yep, your right, we did a bad job tuning your bike."  That ain't gonna happen.  I think if you polled every member on this site, an extremely large percentage is getting much better mileage that you are, with builds that run the gamut...  Time to move on from this dealer and find a professional tuner.   :2vrolijk_21:

I agree. If anyone can let me know of some people in Colorado that would be great.

MNRider,

I'm only getting 33 with mine, but it runs good.  I kind of have a problem with my right wrist, it always has to twist things.

If I'm riding solo I get about 34mpg LOL but when the wife is on I get over 40mpg. Hmmm I wonder why?  :2vrolijk_21:

Last time I got under 30mpg the motor blew up a couple hundred miles down the road. Not saying yours might but yours needs some more time put into it to make it right. My 131 gets 37 consistently.
