I get about 46-49 mpg, the best I can tell. When I get close to 100 miles I fillup.

I got 57 with the stock Mikuni carb with a DJ needle adjusted to approximate 2/3 white spacer, a 152.5 main jet, a 55 pilot jet, a K&N direct-swap replacement air filter and a MAC muffler.
After changing to the 38mm Amal Mk2 carb (stock, with no jetting changes), dropped to 40 MPG. I have since moved the needle clip position to the center notch and rejetted to a #300 (the original stock was a #320) and am now averaging 44 MPG.
This is all with mixed city/suburb and freeway riding. The freeway riding is generally between 45 and 75 MPH.

I've gotten as low as 30 some-odd mpg (new Bike, not yet broken in) and as high as 70+mpg (3rd-4th gear Riding, 50-60kph for approx. 100kms along a winding rural road with no traffic) ... normally though my milage is around 50-ish mpg as reported by most here.

Around 50mpg when taking it easy, riding hard with higher rpms around 40mpg. Depends on you riding style.

I usually shift to reserve between 90-105 miles and have stretched reserve about 28 one time. I start looking for a fuel stop about 85 miles as I'm ready for a break by then anyway if I've just been punching wind getting somewhere. 96 with Hd muffler, full fairing, hard bags and full size rider.

2002 totally stock - I haven't checked in a while, but when I first bought it I was getting 55-60 miles per gallon. I don't think that has changed much. I use the speedo as a fuel guage - I try to remember to gas up every 100 miles.

The majority of my riding is city streets, 30-50 mph. With a lot of 0 mph tossed in due to traffic and signals and stuff. Between the 0 and and 30-50 the throttle tends to stick at wide open. I'm lucky to get 45mpg -- grinning like an idiot.

Are you running high speeds?? What about mods??

Im considering the spacer change, yet the backfire and excellent mileage are appealing to me.

Do you think your mods will detract from engine longevity??
