Since I have owned my bike, I have religiously tracked the mileage I get from each and every tank and also take into account the riding habits I had to use for that given riding period. Concerning my Maxim, it is stock. Carbs run just slightly on the richer side. I use 87 octane from Valero.
The best I have ever gotten was a total of 49.5MPG
. That is with leisure riding through the hill country with just my protective gear on and a pack of tools/essentials. The worst I have ever seen, meaning I had to ride heavy throttle in every gear like a maniac to stay alive on these roads
, I got 39.5MPG.
Typically though, I see an average of 46 to 47MPG. I also use a product called Ethanol Shield to protect the rubber since I do not have ethanol free gas available near me. Just felt like sharing this info and was wondering if any other riders have also tracked their mileage.
