i just got done with the 600 mile service on my base 1098 and i talked to the dealer about the fuel consumption i was getting...the fuel light comes on after about 65 miles which maybe gives me another 30 or so before i need to refill (about 100 a tank)... my dealer said he talked to DNA and they told him that about 25 mpg sounded right...is anyone else getting this?
1098 mpg

The June issue of Cycle World shows the fuel mileage as High/low/avg. 48/33/39. and avg. range including reserve as 160 miles. Reserve is 1 gallon so if you were running hard on the gas and getting the low mileage figure you would be into the reserve at approximately 102 miles. I have not heard or read anywhere at what point the low fuel light comes on but that sounds about right. Better too early than too late, eh?

I have 195 miles on my bike and so far I'm getting around 32mpg with very conservative riding. I'm really hoping it gets better as the bike is broken in.

So everyone else is getting high 20s or low 30s and you are getting almost 50mpg? That is pretty good. My mileage seemed to get much worse after I installed the full system. It seemed to go from the lite coming on at 100 to about 80-85. When the light comes on it takes me about 3 gallons to fill up.Geezer said:

We didn't run them up against each other during the rides Saturday or Sunday but just enjoyed the day!
The MV had just gotten the performance pipes installed and it sounded SWEET!
