stallion mpg

[dancerjim]

im only getting between 25 and 30 mpg at my best.

My 2009 has NEVER gotten the 'advertised' mpg. But I will say that riding in the mountains I get my best, between 35-40 mpg. On the interstate at 70-75 mph about 30-35 mpg. But, I didn't buy the Stallion for the fuel economy

Wife and I just rode back form GA (we are in VA now). That's just over 600 mikes. I was actually impressed by the gas mileage. We cruised between 60 and 75 most of the time and the mileage stayed above 40MPG.<br />
<br />
Course, now I'm told I have the tire presuure to high. 40 in front and 32 in rear. The ride is a bit abrupt on the passenger with 30 psi on the gage! :In town I can't seem to run steady...got to be in front, so it's low to mid 30s.<br />

</div>Tom, drop the rear pressure to about 20 - 22 psi. Your wife will love you for it <img src="images/smilies/grin.gif" border="0" alt="" title="big grin" class="inlineimg" />.

check the little book
front is recommended at 42, I would drop it down to 38 or so.
rear is recommended at 24, I don't go higher.

riding two up I'm getting between 34 and 38 mpg on two lane and four lane mix.It is ok with me because we enjoy our stallion very much.

has anyone considered having ECM remapped or is this possible? could it be done by computer would the chip have to be replaced?

My stallion no. 117 a 2008 has 58000 drive 55 best i can get is 33.4 mpg have put new plugs cleaned air filter long way from 45mpg mine will ping on hard acc so timing is as high it will go do not know where ther pull these no. From but you should be able run 55 p.s. I am a retried tech master ase so i know what i am talking about i think the 4.11 diff.could be the problem thanks trikerlest

engine ping could be from to low of octane or timeing as you suggest , try running a higher octane fuel

</div>Hello trikerlest. You have one of the earliest Stallions owned by a private party. Yours was orginally delivered to a dealer as a Demo, but they must of sold it. How did you get to all the plugs to change them? Two of them looked buried to me. We have had ours for 3 years and get about the same MPG as you due. I agree the 4.11 is probably the reason, but we are happy with it.

 

[Trikerlest]

You have to do this engine cold work on right side get your hand under steering box pull plug wires and use a long ext. And droplight it is hard on hands trikerlest
