Just rolled over 1000 miles. My last 2 tanks got 39.8 mpg commuting and 49.2 on a touring ride. Have a 2 Bros black carbon slip on. No K & N. No PC.

Was able to get 44.5 the other day on a sprited group ride behind a goldwing trike. Very happy. Heck a Ninja 650 will only get 50mpg if you are taking it easy.

I got 33.46 on my last fill up and that's with the speedo corrected. My riding was 50% hooligan and the rest was normal.

I am getting 35-38. Almost all city riding.

I'm averaging right at 40, but I set up my tune to be relatively lean in cruise range.

Averages right around 50, now. 87 octane.

When stock - 43. 10 tanks
After k&n air - 45. 20 tanks
After Motul change - 47 consistently. 20 tanks
After Akro add - 50. 10 tanks.
Dbkiller removed - 45. 4 tanks. Put db back in.

commuting all week I usually get about 130 miles a tank before the light comes on, and during the weekend when we go out to the mountains I am getting about 150 a tank. That was before I put the +2 sprocket on the rear. I have no idea what its going to be like now. I would say I will be back in a few hours and let ya'll know what it is, buuuuuuuuuuuuttttt DJ is a sucker and left his bike at the dealership to get warranty and hasn't had his bike in over two weeks!!!!

My fuel trip kicks in at about 120 or so. Then I fill it within 10. Normally put in 3.5 to 3.7 galls to the bottom of the splash shield
