milage

I used to get to about 114 miles before the fuel light came on with the stock tires, now I have a 170 on the rear, 150 on the front and it comes on around 90 miles? Does this sound right? Can someone explain it to me?

Im looking for a little help with a '97 gettting around 16 mpg. I just got the bike so I don't know any history on it. the only aftermarket items i notice is the supertrapp exhaust. One of the coils was bad so i converted it to COP. Everything else seems to be stock. Each carb is missing a...

I'm looking at a 2005 max with 42000 miles. Bike is extremely clean and appears well maintained. Should I be concerned with this high milage. Adult owned, original owner, clean as I've seen

Well, I have sold my zzr1200 and should be selling my M109R in a week or so. I am looking at getting a 2nd gen. Vmax, but I have noticed a trend. Most of the Vmax's are sort of low milage. That is what I want when looking at a bike, but is there a reason why the milage is so low on most of...

Hey guys- On average I get 130km or 80 Miles till my light comes on. First off, it's warming up in Canada finally and I'm using the choke less and less. Basically, I keep Adjusting the choke lower and lower till I reach my idle. I've kept it choked for quite a while when it's -5 C or 23 F...

Trying to get a comparison....my 2001 has 1,888 miles on it....anyone else dealing with low milage Gen I Vmax's....about to get the carb issue straighened out on it..I got top dollar in this bike..5,700.....low miles make it worth that much to me..These bikes bring top dollar here in...

Lets start with amzoil 20-50 synthetic oil. I dumped the old oil out that the previous owner had in.The clutch was draging a bit when cold.Had this same issue with my last harley...figured if it worked on that bike, it should work on the max." It did" No more drag.:eusa_dance: So my buddy and I...

I have stock carbs, slip-on mufflers, the needle clip is on the 4 slot from the blunt end, my AF screw is 4 turns out, filled the tank using 87 octane no ethanol, reset the odometer, rode the bike, Fuel light came on a 50 miles! What do I have set up wrong? Thanks

Hi guys, hope I can get some help here since I don't know what else to do now. Since I got my bike I have bad millage, specifically since I almost do only city driving I guess (around 65 miles per tank). But since I install the full exhaust system and add a DJ stage 1 things are getting...

In my previous post I said i was only getting 80 miles until my fuel light came on, instead of 100 miles. Well I had the carbs adjusted and synced, and it's still the same. I also checked the milage and speedo and that all checked out. What the hell is going on? For a year I was getting the 100...

When I bought the bike about a year ago when ever I reached 100 miles my fuel light came on, but know when i hit 80 miles it comes on. What could be the issue here? I recently change the fuel sensor, could that be the problem?

Ok, so I've got to ask. What kind of fuel milage should i expect to see from a bone stock Vmax? My daily commute is like this. 10 miles of stop & go city traffic 18 miles of interstate 2 miles of not so much stop & go. I know the biggest factor is staying the hell out of vboost...
