• 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.

No, that is not news. But this was the first fill-up where my Spyder exceeded 40 mpg. This one was 42.1 mpg. Since the first tank full I have been in the 38 - 40 mpg range.
 
Good news. I am coming up on tank #5 tomorrow. 1 and 2 got me 37 mpg and 3 and 4 got me 38 mpg.

UPDATE: Tank # 5 gave me 37 mpg.

With 2500 miles on the bike, mine seems to be running at about 37 mph average. So far I've had a low of 36 and a high of 42, but I don't run eco mode and I'm getting to the point where I really push it on the back roads around here :clap:
 
Assuming this was to me

You'd still have belt drive though... :shocked:
How many miles do you have on your bike so far? :dontknow:

About 2100 now. I do not use the Eco mode, but do generally shift between 2100 - 2500 rpm. Also note I use non-ethanol 87 octane.
 
My average for the 14 is 32.2 so far after 2200 miles if I recall correctly. US gallons, high test but everything has ethanol around here which definitely affects millage. I use the additive every fill but it does not affect mileage. I do not know much about gas pumps, but if the pump dispenses from the same nozzle, how much regular gas is flushing into my tank before the high test begins filling? That would be a good argument for using up a much of tank as possible if indeed the line has to be purged.
