Squid4Life Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Sorry if this have been asked b4 but i just want you guys to please give me a general idea as of more or less what is the mpg for a full tank of gas.... i bought this bike(2017) mainly to ride 2up with a givi E55 top case. Maybe a few overnighters with also oem hard bags. How many(mileage wise) i should be looking at? Also the bike is bone stock 4 now. Depending on how it rides i will keep it like that..if not Ecu tuning and exhaust will be in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member betoney Posted February 21, 2019 Supporting Member Share Posted February 21, 2019 You are bound to get answers that vary greatly, mpg will be determined on your right wrist and your cargo (passenger and bags). I personally like to ride higher in the rpm range and have added +2 teeth on the rear sprocket (almost equivalent to -1 tooth on the front sprocket). My average over 30k miles has been 43-47mpg. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member dingophil Posted February 21, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 21, 2019 Std most of the time. No luggage. I'm pretty dead on 48 mpg regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new1709rider Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have the 2017 model with a top box. I got about 52 mpg during the break in period but now I'm averaging 45mpg. I suspect if I kept the rpms below 6000 like during the break in I would be up around 50mpg again, but what's the fun in that? Twist that wrist and have some fun. 45 x4.8 gallons is 216 miles per tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I've seen as high as 60mpg (US) when going "easy" on back roads, so that could get you 250 miles on a tank, but that is probably about the limit. As others have said mileage can fluctuate quite a bit depending on load, wind, and how hard you're pushing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member fddriver2 Posted February 21, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 21, 2019 The highest I've seen is 57 mpg (US) during a leisurely tour Loaded down on the Natchez Trace. Normally I'm in the mid to low 40's. "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhchris Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 About 42 on a good day of average mixed riding. At highway speeds above 70 mph less, usually around 35-38. cb 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member 2and3cylinders Posted February 23, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted February 23, 2019 Anybody who gets more than 42 is comatose . Even in Std on non-e petrol (only available out of IL predominantly) and staying smooth on my fastest Red 15 I can't do much better with a SH46 Top Case; add SH36 panniers and kiss another couple good bye, with another ass it'd be as bad as my VTR! So with Dave's flash I can run in A mostly, unless in really tight stuff, where I can get down to 38 without trying. I just can't stay out of the throttle cuz I'm used to more torque. Really, the FJ09 is tame compared to my other bikes, so I always want to give it more juice. And the CP3 motor asks for it anyway, like a nasty GF late on a Saturday night. You can't use all the rated 4.8. I start looking hard for a station when I think 170 will be coming up and going by. I've sweated my balls off pushing hard to 188-ish, 190+ would mean maybe using boot leather, which I avoid at all costs! As I was born to ride, work to ride, and ride to eat, then repeat... As they say in the ads, your mileage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
