As I get more miles on my 14'RT will my mpg go up?

[Bob Denman]

I'm sure that it'll improve as the engine loosens up...
By the way; did the mileage on Mike's improve? He mentioned getting about 32 mpg when I last saw him... :dontknow:

How many miles do you have on your ST-L? I was in the same range 24-27 and then with about 4000 mile on the odometer it was like flipping a switch. It has jumped to a consistant 30-33 with a high of 36 and that is for the last 3200 miles mostly riding 2 up.

:2thumbs: You've got to loosen them up a bit... :clap:
(40.7 mpg today: 3100 miles on the bike)

:gaah:....tHAT 32 MPG REFERENCE was actually the highest I obtained coming back from ILL......Now I usually get between 38 and 40 MPG per tank fill-up at 4400 Mi. after first oil change to Rotella T-6 full SYN.........Of course I could get way better mileage ....ie at least 40 if I used Premium gas ......But I'm sticking with 87 Octane .....the RT runs smooth, starts good, and I pass anytime I want.......If I want to go Quicker than this ...I'll investigate a TURBO :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:................Mikeguyver :thumbup:

2nd tankfull

We got our 14RT 2 weeks ago and on the 2nd fill up we got 6.75l/100km or 34.8 mpg US. I'm very happy w/ that and it should only improve as the bike gets broken in. So much better than the 2010 RT-S.

2014 RT MILEAGE

:gaah:.....Bob what effects ( lowers ) my gas mileage is I do a LOT of PASSING.....which is worse than just driving fast on the Highway .......Except for that I'm sure I would consistently get 40 or 41 MPG's ..................and that would be on .....87 OCTANE ..." Texas " is actually getting better than this .....also on 87 Octane .......It would be one thing if I recommended someone try using 87 octane without having any firsthand knowledge of the consequences of doing so......However my mechanic and I pushed the 1330 engine until the......." KNOCK SENSORS " activated and the stress level needed for this to occur was much, much higher than 98 % of NORMAL driving .......Both He and I would recommend using 91 octane under the following circumstances .......Very steep mountainous driving WITH a passenger ......or an adult passenger and TOWING a fully loaded BRP trailer .................When I pass, I do so very, very quickly and so far I have not noticed the " knock sensors " kick in .Mikeguyver :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

Mine seems to be holding at 40 mpg now at 6000 miles. It went up steadily from 36 mpg at the beginning. Oh yes, 90 octane--highest available.
