[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1197896, member: 3828"] 2000 feet isn't enough elevation to cause much of a difference. Spend a few days tooling around averaging 5k feet or more and you'll be amazed at the mpg difference with no change in right hand action. I had always chalked up the reports of 45-50 mpg as urban legend or old grandpas that babied the throttle. Nothing that I did with my old '05 would let it crack the 42 mpg level, until we took the bike out west to SD, WY and MT last summer. The same bike magically began delivering 45-48 mpg with absolutely no change in how powerful it felt. Unfortunately, what goes up must come down, and when we did, so did the mileage. [/QUOTE]
