What mpg is everyone getting on the 2015/2016 R1?
I think my bike was around 30 mpg stock but since I installed the graves 3/4 exhaust system & flash tuned the ecu my mpg changed to 24 mpg. Now my Subaru Wrx gets better mpg than my R1...

I'm not close to 100 either since the flash. I think I got 98 today but the light was on for at least 8 or 9 miles.

Wow .... I must be doing something wrong. I'm getting 41.5 miles per gallon and the light doesn't come on till about 150 on the trip odometer. I have went to 170 b4 putting gas in. And no it not kilometers either

When I'm on my R1 I am in now way trying to get the best mileage possible. I'm on it to have fun and twist the throttle. If you wanted a commuter bike... you should of bought a R3. :lol

I knew the bike would eat gas but wanted to see what's everybody else getting for mpg... This beast eats a lot more than my 05 R1 with full Akra's & a custom map.
I figure she's just running a little rich until I get a custom dyno tune done.

I average 24-25mpg mixed hwy and city riding.

last ride. I got 30mpg due to it being a little more wet so I wasnt on the throttle as I normally would. LOL.

with Graves 3/4th exhaust + Graves FTECU map.

I guess I could ride around in 2nd or 3rd gear doing 50, 60, 70mph. Lord knows the bike will do it. I just don't ride that way, nor try to get the best mileage. I bet if I really try, I could get 48 - 50 mph, short shifting, coasting, and what not. But I don't ride that way either.

Riding on the street, safely, and I saw on her occasionally, I'm getting 40+ mpg. I don't see or think it is so improbable.

I hit 115 miles before the fuel light came on while out riding yesterday. Mix of highway cruising with frequent high-ish speed passes. '16 M with full Graves and 2WDW flash tune.

A mix between hitting it hard and street speeds I get the low fuel light at about 90-95 miles and with nothing but street speeds I'm getting about 120 before the light comes on. This is with the FTECU flash, Akra slip on and mid pipe but even with it stock it wasn't getting much better.

I use Fuelly for all my vehicles, so far the R1 is thirsty, more so after the flash, Pre flash, stock with the 02's on I could get just over 39, shows she's currently averaging 29.2 overall, with a best of 39.5(stock).


I'd like to build a lean cruise section of the map, but a dyno confirmation of my tune/flash will be first.
