Ryker Mileage per tank - what do you get?
Just noticed between my last 2 fill ups, I got 152 miles per tank full of gas. I'm guessing that's average.

What is it you are riding? On my 18 RTL I have gotten on average about 190 miles per tank, with as low as 150 running at 75 in strong headwinds, and as many as 225 when doing more like 55.
You can't get there from here....

29-31 mpg with my Rally model. I rarely go more than 120 miles on a tank though because I don't like running it dry.

I have been getting about 33 mpg from my Rally lately. It has been getting better. I started out around 30/31 mpg.

My last 4 fill ups averaged 37.5 mpg. That's about normal for me. 900ACE, eco mode, limited street driving, cruising the country roads @55-60 mph. and 10,280.0 miles as of today.

I've logged around 10 tanks in total, and I get 34-37 MPG. I have not noticed much difference in the gas consumption depending on my driving cycle, seem it doesnt change much between highway and slower country roads.
Its good to keep resetting the trip/odometer each fill up, and it acts as a very reliable fuel guage

I got typically 33-34 MPG.
As low as 31 mpg at high speeds (75+) with a headwind.
37 MPG crusing under 65 MPH
UK website posts MPG specs

You guys are all getting better mileage than I'm getting, around 27 to 29 mpg, for a while it was even lower than that. I think a contributing factor to my low mileage is a lot of it is stop & go traffic around town. It does a little better on open roads.

One thing I do note, most of you get 30 or less mpg. Sounds like what happens when your having "to much fun" and tweeking that right hand during the enjoyment.
Same problem with my early 2008 GS and 2009 RS. Lousy mileage, but a great fun factor.

I got 34.8 the other day on a 300 mile ride out her is Az. It was mostly highway but about 15 miles of in town stop and go. This was on a 2020 900 ace with about 3100 miles. I use regular gas.

Some of the differences in MPG may be due to different elevation. Oxygen concentration decreases with elevation and the oxygen sensor reduces fuel delivery to compensate. I have noticed this trend with all of my fuel injected vehicles.

The fuel gauge on our car was broke a couple of years. We used the odometer as our fuel gauge. We would reset it each time we refueled an never let it go over 250 miles. Never once did we ever run out of gas......

I watched a video on YouTube that compared the gas mileage for Regular and Premium. If I recall it was no more then 1-2 miles per gallon, so I switched to regular as well. Have not noticed any difference in performance.
Also, when I refuel I put the nozzle all the way in, slow pump and stop the first time the pump stops. I'm always worried about an over fill and getting gas all down the sides of my ride.

Certain pumps always spill over. Even when it is way before full.
My bike has fuel indicator problems if I am just topping off with a gallon or so before a long ride. The thing will stay at full and the estimated mileage left will be really wanky until I stop the bike for a break. I am not going to take it in as I know it will sit in the shop forever and thy won’t find a problem. I will just live with it.

I think I read were that's common on all Rykers. I'll fill mine up and it will have full bars that will stay like that for about 50 miles or so before they start to fall.

Overflow while filling is due to higher pumping rate on some pumps. I had more problems at Costco, than anywhere, but it depended upon which pump was used. Less problems if pump nozzle fully inserted using pumps in Nevada, Arizona and Utah. California pumps (Death Valley) were a pain.
From June 4, 2020 post:
On my 2020:
A. Fuel gauge does not register consumption until about 85 miles / 2.5 gallons used from full tank.
B. After ~85 miles, gauge is somewhat proportional.
C. Miles to empty does not recompute after filling.
D. Miles to empty recomputes after about 25 miles / 0.75 gallon consumed and then is close to accurate.

The Ryker and any other Spyder and most vehicles have a sender unit in the gas tank ..... they are set ( for max ) to NOT touch the top of the tank ...... so depending on the vehicle how close that sender is will determine when the gas level ( ie amount ) begins to actually read correctly ......

Yes.
I think the issue with the Ryker is that the float travel does not match the tall narrow tank.
The float tops out long before the tank is filled.
