• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Finally did it, just got back from trip to Oregon. We did 205 miles on a tank, only took 5.4 gallons so could have done another 30 miles. That sure felt good as we are just about always taking long rides. With the 2010 rt we were always looking for fuel around 130 miles. The 205 miles was hwy 101 from Yachats Or. Into Calif.
 
I don't know how you guys get the good miles. I have tried the non-ethanol gas, always premium, correct tire pressure, usually 2 up. Cat bypass. I did get 34.5 once but usually 30-31. Since I had a boat that burned 40 gals an hour, it's not the gas, it's "how in the hell do you do it" :D:D
 
Filled my F3 this morning got 42.8 but then I only weigh 130 so it doesn't know if I'm om board or not, haven't tried it on the highway yet.
 
My 1330 consistently gets over 200 miles on a tank (if I want to). I have to defer to Linda most of the time--she still drives a 998.
 
Sorry, upgraded a couple months ago to used 2014 rts. With 4200 miles on it. That was wifey behind me, and loaded to the gills.

I haven't tried to push the 200 think I could easily usually look to fill up at about 180. Have been averaging about 36-40 MPG 2up depending on the ride

Keep the speed down, 65-70 I get 37-39, at constant 60 I have gotten 42 and 220 miles and the fuel light hadn't come on yet. I do have a 2014 1330
 
I Ryde a '15 RT Ltd and ifi not hot rodding, close to 50 mpg most of the time. The best I got with 2 up is 54 and there was not hot starts and 50 mph max. :yes::yes:
 
I got 36 mpg yesterday on my 14 RT pulling a loaded trailer. Of course it was all downhill from Vail, CO to Rifle, CO. :yes::yes:Joe got 50 mpg on his KTM SA on the same route.

Try only ridding down hill :roflblack::roflblack:
 
I always get over 200 per tank. Average 35mpg pretty steadily. Thats riding 80-85mph two up on highways, slower on the twisties. Actually filled up yesterday and got 39mpg, but that was a lot of Blue Ridge Pkwy riding with Pebbles, never really going faster than 55 for the most part. Gas light came on at 217 miles and put 5.6 gallons in it. Id rather go faster and get less mpg. Pebbles starting to feel the same. Actually ran triple digits with her on it last week. She enjoyed it. From then on she was always "hit it baby, hit it" :yes:
 
I easily get 200 miles before the last bar. About 195 to 200 miles to last bar. Coming home from Nashville last week I filled up at a Mobil station near Champaign, Ill. I only had 176 miles when I went to no bars. Be careful and watch your trip gauge. I almost ran out at 180 miles. Had 1/2 gallon left. The next tank went well over 200.
 
One of these days ..

... I'm going to check my mpg. I know I should as it makes no sense not to.
