No I'm not talking about what the ECU reports, which is garbage. It's 50% off compared to the empirical data.

With a mix of city/highway and not really being conservative on the throttle I get 40 mpg = 17 km/L.

If it's mostly highway cruising I get 47 mpg = 20 km/L.

I added a booster plug, which is apparently does drop the economy a bit, otherwise my bike is stock.

Well?

 

[barbagris]

Not sure. But it seems spot on with the range calculations. And is consistent. Next time I fill I'll keep a note of kms and litres. The calculated thing - is off but not that massively on mine.

I have a COOBER in. This does most certainly affect things if one is being "playful". I'm also fairly sure that there is a difference in gear mapping. Esp highway cruising.

But compared to the Rocket-III it's a fuel miser, so I'm happy.

Most of my riding is in light traffic on back roads. I'm not particularly heavy-handed on the throttle and brakes, but don't hang around either.

I'm going to remove the Booster Plug and see if that has any effect. Will update.

Hi, nearly 10,000 kays on mine and always 4.4 km/100 litres (22 km/litre). Zero city riding and no commuting in that result. Another beautiful autumn day in Oz today. Gonna do my favourite 100 km loop. Cheers

Correction, 4.4 litres/100 km

Hmmm... mine's a bit low I think. I bypassed the booster plug this morning, we'll see...

Riding in the UK over 1471 miles (2,367 Km) from new I got:

65.91 mpg (Imperial)
52.73 mpg (US)
4.28 L/100 Km

Mostly rural / main roads (no motorway) riding, some town and villages - rural roads here have a 60 mph speed limit.

I've been considering getting one of those since I got the bike last spring, but I had heard that newer software made them less effective? I don't know if that's true or not. I'm very curious if you notice a difference going back to stock.

My usual spirited 200km loop costs me 8.5L fairly consistently. Stock engine/etc. I'll be watching to see if the 15T sprocket makes a difference. My wife's 05 CBR600RR used nearly twice the fuel for the same run, hopefully the 2015 she got is better.

I don't feel that much difference honestly. Maybe a little bit smoother when putting along in 1st gear.

Hi magoo. I get 4.3 litres per 100 klm on mine here in Qld. The figure on the dash is amusing but inaccurate hey.

 

[Vu Le]

Seriously, the US needs to switch to the Metric system. I'm tired of having to use the converter

 

[magoo]

I grew up with the Imperial system and l’m good numerically but l couldn’t imagine going back to it. It almost illogical. But then again the wheels on my duke are 17” but tyres are 180 and 120 mm 😁

 

[magoo]

4.4 litres to a gallon or 3.9 US

 

[L8-apex]

I get about 1,300 happy grins per gallon. That's all that matters!

I fitted one on my 1290GT, can't really notice much difference over the O2 sensor removal kit it replaced.

I found out yesterday that when the range gets to 40km it really means 0m, despite the splashing I could hear in the tank. I pushed it back to my work and added a few liters of questionable gas (I had to ID unmarked jerries of diesel, diesel/gas mix from customer mistakes, rotten gas, maybe gas?).

 

[colombo]

After the booster plug came out I'm getting 45-51 MPG, so roughly 10% drop in economy with Booster plug in.

Very odd, I've ran it much lower then 40km range displayed and have never had an issue - and can still only squeeze in 1-2L less than claimed tank capacity.

 

[ghost_z]

I am getting around 20-21 KMPL in the city and 26-30 on the highway depending on how i am riding.

It did show me an abysmal figure like 13-14 on the day i rode it home from the dealership.
