I got 45 mpg, up to 48 mpg. In the past months, I got down to 40mpg. I shanged the plugs, which looked like it was burning rich, but still only get 40mpg.

Hmmm, must be the slingshot effect kicking in when comming out of a turn. You know, like water out of a hose. No spray nozzle and your lucky reach 12 inches, but with sprayer attached you can shoot 25 ft....

Hey is Fredrider starting over since his move to maybe the second best riding part of the country? The Fredrider I know has way over 2000 posts and every one worth the reading. Can you do the same with this here ol' bo' as I would sure love to be able to throw my leg over Halfbreed again, Skip.

I also find that the gas mileage on my '98 T depends on how I drive. Commuting 29 miles each way to work I get between 37 and 41 mpg depending on whether I accelerate at the same rate as the cages or whether I smoke the cages. On the interstates I get 34-36 mpg going 75-80 mph but 1 to 2 mpg higher if I travel at 65-70. Funnily I get the best gas mileage when I am in the twisties. Despite getting on the throttle hard coming out of each turn I get 42-43 mpg on roads like the Dragon.

I've had my T for about four months now and put 4500 miles on it. I have noticed that riding style plays a MAJOR part in mileage. If I'm on the throttle hard and maintaining a speed of 75 or better, the mileage drops off to around 32. On the other hand, I did the Police Memorial Ride last month in Sacramento which takes a 60 mile with an average speed of about 50, two up and got a whopping 56.5 mpg. Boy, I sure wish I could get that every time, but at that speed it would take me all day to...

I went 120 miles before I had to switch to reserve on the first day bringing my T home. Ive tried to check it again but accidently reset my trip meter while wiping the bike down. I am really interested in making my pipes louder. Is there anything I can do without buying new ones? An adjustment maybe?

PS - I will insert a signature picture when I get bak from Vegas. (nope not riding - flying)
