Apples to Oranges here... With my 11 Tri-Glide, The MPG was a little better with the Stage 1...If driven the same way...But with almost 8 hundred more rpm's to play with, If you start playing with them, And you will at first' Then the MPG's will be lower...

I have a 2017 thinking about a stage 1 didn't want to mess up the mileage it gets pretty good now around 35. I had a 15 that i did a stage 1 on and the mileage went down don't want to do that again

On the one M8 Freewheeler we tested, the MPG are a bit better with the DK Custom Stage I.

We'll be posting some charts soon, that will include the AFR, stock and Stage I, which has a lot to do with mpg.

You can see a little info that we have already posted on the subject in this thread-

There are too many Variances in filling a gas tank with exactly the same amount of gas to get a really actuate MPG figure...Example;
6gal 180 miles 30
5.6 180 miles 32
5.3 180 34....
The only way to tell is run completely dry, Then put in a known 5 gal then run it dry ...

I keep a mileage log on all my cars and bikes. Have for 50 years since leaving the Marines where I had to do that with my radio jeep. Divide the miles (trip milage) by the amount of gas you put in. Gives pretty fare figures. May vary by 1 or 2 mpg. Close enough for government work.

True that. Which is why I use the Power Vision for MPG. The computer knows how much fuel was actually used (regardless of how full the tank was/is), it also knows how many miles were traveled...from there it is an easy calculation for it to spit out the MPG.
