Fuel Reserve??

[the Ferret]

Once you get over 2000 miles on the motor I think the MPG levels out. I'm not getting any better mileage now than I did then. Normal day to day riding I average about 57 mpg. I think it's smooth throttle hand, as few stops and starts as possible, no jack rabbit launches or stops, I let it idle at stop signs and lights and I never run over 4000 rpms and very little freeway riding. Don't baby it, but don't beat it. In my experience you get the best mileage between 45 and 60, go over that and the gas mileage sinks exponentially. At 80 it sucks.

I average over 45 mpg on my 717 pound 125 HP ST 1300 which I ride the same way.

PS ... I don't ride for mileage... That's just how I ride
