• 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.

Thats what I've been getting on average. Riding 50% two up and 50% with the trailer. Load o stuff is about 130 to 150 give or take. Low fuel light comes on at about 125 miles and when I fuel it takes 5 gallons. If I recall it has a 6 gallon tank so they give you a 25 mile safety. :ani29:
 
I am also averaging 25 mpg combined city/highway during my 600 mile break-in. I thought I read the Spyder got 35 to 40 mpg highway??? :(
 
32 mpg

The wife and I just returned from a 3000 + mile tour through BC. The tailbag, saddelbags and nose-cone were all stuffed to the max. I averagd 32 mpg which is what I have been experiencing throughout my 16,000+ miles.

are you guys with low mileage running SE-5?

also how did you break your spyder in? easy for first 600 or ride it normal for first 600 miles?

Mine was an sm 5 and I rode it like I stole it and I tried it easy and made no differance in mpg. Also live in Florida where it is flat land.

Our RT-S has about 4,000 miles, and we've been getting about 34 - 36 mpg; that's 2-up ryding mostly under 50 mph in and around Brighton, MI. I'm very satisfied!

This seems to be out of place in the other statistics. Since you mention km in your distance, was this km/ltr? km/gal (imperial or otherwise)?

I'm getting 26.7 mpg using 89 oct 10% ethanol average for 1300 miles.

Actual miles per gallon for my 2010 rts
64.9 liters for 1038 km
45.17 miles per gallon imperial
6.25 per liters per 100 km
1038 km = 644.98 miles
39.7 per us gallon
 
Wow, some of you guys are getting 35 & 40+ mpg. I am breaking my bike in the way I ryde - normal with some (not all) fast pull-offs, etc. I did same with my 2001 Honda Valkyrie Interstate and she runs pur-fect! :thumbup:

I do a lot of country ridding so maybe the constant gas and go through the curves is eating away at my mileage totals!? I'll see a huge improvement once I get to the 3,500 oil change (600 mile using dealer/Can-Am recommended) as I will switch over to Royal Purple oil and really loosen her up! :ohyea:
