[QUOTE="FJReady, post: 16439, member: 465"] When my FJR was new, I measured fuel economy every tank. Eventually my interest waned and just stopped checking. But I'd do a ballpark guesstimate once in a while at fill-up. The first 5-10 tankfuls yeilded an MPG range of 38-41. I checked again the last few fill-ups and it at a steady 43-46. The bike has just over 9000 miles on it. I haven't gone limp wrist on it; if anything I'm spanking it a little harder. My butt-o-meter says its making a little more HP too. I had a lengthy surprise power wheelie the other day smacking the throttle WFO at about 4K in first gear. Anybody else have a similar performance increase experience? I haven't changed gas. The same two or 3 stations. The only engine related changes I've made are two TBS's and one spark plug change. At 3000 miles I changed to synthetic oil. Thats it. Can't think of anything that might have changed. FJReady [/QUOTE]
