Gas Mileage

[onebadeagle]

I have 2012 triglide that was getting abut 33 MPG riding 2 up mostly back roads, Just installed Vance & Hines Slash cut slips, Arlen Ness Big Sucker stage 1 A/C, V/H Throttle Pak, V/H Fuel Pak Sounds and runs great with a little extra horsepower. But now I'm only getting around 29.8 MPG, is this pretty normal? Not complaining just wondering.:xzqxz:

I bet you are enjoying the new found power. Give it awhile for you to settle down with it and it should get a little better.

If you're not riding it harder as others have mentioned, I'd blame it on the FP set for too rich of a AFR.

NOTHING sounds better than a Harley with a hot exhaust system tacking away from a stop sigh. mileage be damned, just love the sound . . . Neighbors may be a tad unhappy, but Oh Well

My MPG's drop quite a bit when i'm cruising along and Good Night Saigon starts playing on the iPod , And then i tend to i ramp it up a little... It's the right wrist that will affect millage more than most Do-Dads that you add on.. Gas is cheep now burn it up!....ThumbUp

Just this last year I changed to a S&S 557h cam on my '13 TG and got new FP settings from V&H. Running 72-75mph I was getting 26-28mpg with the new map. Cut her back to 65mph getting 34-36. Talked to Chris and the guys at Sturgis this year and they gave me some (8) new mapping numbers. Now getting that 34-36 number again at 72-75mph.

I'd be talking to V&H about some new mapping numbers.
