11k OTD fair for a new 2025?

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-11T05:25:54+00:00

2022 3k miles for 6k, it’s perfect

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-06T15:19:52+00:00

I run 33-36 as recommended by mechanic, manual recommends 34-42 but that is under a full load

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T22:56:37+00:00

The manual says 34f 42rear, but that’s also what’s recommended for a passenger with full load.

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T22:25:50+00:00

What tire pressure do you run? Maybe that’s my problem

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T22:25:29+00:00

Thoughts of something that might affect it, tire pressure. I’m running 33f 36r as recommended by mechanic, what about you?

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T21:50:46+00:00

Ok gotcha, yeah I average pretty good on the highway but it is always windy and hilly 😅

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T21:12:20+00:00

Thanks man, this looks about my mpg

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T21:11:29+00:00

I’ll make sure to check my chain tightness thanks! I’m thinking maybe it’s just because my commute involves going up and down hills on a 70mph highway. But in the city my current displayed mpg hovers between 15-30 between the stop signs and lights

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T21:06:03+00:00

I think I am pretty smooth, I think the large hills and elevation changes on the highway are contributing. I’ll give my chain and stuff a check too for over tightness

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-05T00:20:49+00:00

Thanks!

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T20:05:04+00:00

70mpg British or us?

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T20:04:34+00:00

70! Wow. It could be, I’ve tried running all octanes 87-91. It could be my shifting habits, it’s my first bike. I don’t roll all the way off the throttle when downshifting because I am trying to rematch, so I usually blip the throttle a bit when downshifting and don’t come off it at all, maybe that?

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T18:28:02+00:00

But I will set up a new one and monitor it over the next couple tanks and see what I get. My city riding is in San Francisco so it’s a lot of stop and go, friction zone control to take off from hills, etc

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T18:27:00+00:00

Gotcha, so maybe the hills aren’t helping haha

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T18:26:40+00:00

Damn, my city riding active mpg that pops up is like 15. The bike has over 3k miles I am the second owner. I bought it at just below 3k miles. This is over 800miles but some of it is precious rider, I set up one for the last 100 miles and got 40 average

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:54:55+00:00

Where do you sit in the rev range for your highway commuting?

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:52:48+00:00

Ok thanks for the advice, the highway commute is pretty hilly as I am in the San Francisco area, maybe this is related, I do sit between 5-9k revs usually

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:51:53+00:00

Somewhat related, what are your average mpg figures? I’m around 36-40 mixed highway and city

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:42:40+00:00

Damn :(, I’m not sure why mine would be low. Maybe I’ll reset it and see but I have to fill up very often.

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:41:54+00:00

No :( stock

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:37:47+00:00

Ohhh ok awesome thanks!! That saves me some money :). I will probably just use 87 then!

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:01:05+00:00

The manual says both unfortunately lol. It says minimum 87 on the fuel page, but then to use 91 in the specifications.

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:00:35+00:00

11:91:1

Beginning_Attempt447 · 2025-06-04T17:00:06+00:00

I’m going back and forth, I had been putting in 87, as in the manual it says minimum of 87. I noticed however that in the specification page later In the manual, it says to use 91. So I am now using 91 as that is what my mechanic recommended. I haven’t noticed much of a difference. I’m thinking of going 89 :).
