MPG on Your Trikes

[1800 06 Champion Trike]

Avg 36 -38 with my 06 Goldwing Champion SA (Toyota). Higher speeds then posted limit, I lose a few mpgs

 

[Jack Klarich]

If my math is correct....

244.75 Miles on 5.5 gal....I didn't figure the miles at 6 gal. Cause you don't want to run out.. But either way thats fantastic...

By the way does your Freewheeler have a digital tachometer...:Shrug:

Yes it does, with theDynoJet Tuner ALL the gauges including the tach came alive changing constantly in real time. The HD gauges are poor at best from watching the screen on the tuner I can see it all now

 

[FuLong]

Solo, on normal Roads here in Bavaria with 60 MPH and some hillclimbing on pretty windy and verry small streets in the Alps about 43 MPG, seems to be a little bit less then with the factory setting - TGU 2015 with SE 259E Cam Kit and Penzl exhaust

Thanks, I was wondering how you could tell the RPM's that precise , With my 17 T/G seeing the RPM's is guess work at best....:Shrug:

Traded in my 11T/G and the Gunner....Yep i love it, The 107 is a whole different animal then the 103...Much more power right out of the box. The Trike its self rides much smoother...I am going to miss the mechanical reverse i put in the 11...

Breaking in

Mine got {FREEWHEELER} over 40 before the tuner

Now it is settled in @ 44.6

 

[Fozworth]

My last Tank full on the 2016 Tri-Glide was 30. I have a Power Vision tune designed for running cooler, not so much MPG.

 

[Jack Klarich]

Still playin with my tuner, I have added more fuel and am still stuck @ 44.6, but I aint complaining

The Power Vision Tuner has lots of gadgets built in, if I get lost, there is a stock tune and the last tune I did for back ups, There are 8 slots total I think for all of the tunes

U can get more tunes from Fuel Moto

MPG

40 I wish,27 mpg average!

Best I ever got was 37 mpg on Natchez Trail

45-50 mph.

 

[FuLong]

Update. Now I have a average over 1550 Miles > 39.74 mpg

Sometimes short highway parts, most on windy country roads with some mountains (most small, windy and rampant). I am a solo driver.

 

[bikerbillone]

Those HDs must have something special under the hood, I've never approached 39/40, no matter what I do. I'm, anywhere from 33/36, depending on the ride.

 

[FuLong]

Probably the many cylinders to feed :Joker3:

I have no exact numbers from last year, with everything on the engine original, but if I remember right, there I was at about 35 mpg.

In this time I needed more rpms for my style of riding, normal rpm range from 2000 - 3000.

Now with the SE 259E Cam Kit and Penzl exhaust I have more punch from low rpms, now the most time between 1700 - 2500 only for overtaking and rampant hills ist more needed (and for the hills, the rpms are the fun ).

The M8 in stock form does get better MPG, Than my 103 did.....

..What was your average speed???

..Did you happen to notice on the road if you kept it under, at, or over 3000 rpm????

After seeing your air filter pic I'm thinking I could gain a few mpg too with a fresh one. I'm sure it has never been changed (32,786 miles) and living in west Texas it has GOT to be gunked up with dirt. We've been caught in a few dust storms trying to get in or out of Midland....then too on a breezy day, just riding around the area, the air is always dusty.Goldrush (Jerry) did a bunch of maintenance on my trike at 29,333 miles and only 3450 miles have been put on it in-between so I'm not worried about the rest of the "32K" maintenance but your air filter pic sure caught my eye! Bike runs smooth, strong and never hesitates but I get a consistent 32 mpg IF I keep it at or a hair below 3000 rpm on the highway. This speed is ok for a casual, area outing but sometimes you just need to "get on down the road". This is riding 1-up and either loaded or not with luggage.

They probably switched over to the new Kuhneutson Valve...It is said to be far superior to old inferior Kukneutson Valve's.....

Kaleco Auto.com, They have a bunch of them in stock....

Hello Trikesters, I looking at purchasing a TriGlide. What I would like to know from you out there, what is the average gas mileage you guys and gals get on your TriGlides. Doesn't matter what year model or what upgrades you have, if you do reply just put what you have and the average mpg. I haven't purchased yet, just gathering info. Anyone can reply even if they have some other trike. Info is needed.

:GoodPost:

Trike riding is all about the enjoyment and pleasure of riding. It is unrelated to the cost of ownership.

Fuel costs are a part of ownership.

So as Rhino has said, Just drive and enjoy.
