Here we go again, "average 44+mpg", are you kidding? Where are you? How do you ride?
I call B.S. On this. Sorry.
My 2011 is awesome. 3600 miles in two months. Fires right up. Averages 44.2 MPG (according to the puter) with "spirited riding". Runs like a raped ape. Gives me thrills at every curve followed by exhilarating straights. Gets complements at every stop. Kipass works great. No heat from the bike in 100+ weather. Bags have not fallen off. No rear drive noise. Good times!
Why do you find that so hard to believe? I seem to get around 44mpg also (and I don't use "eco" mode). Granted, most of this time has been in the mysterious "breakin" period (at 1,200 or something miles now), and I ride more "chicken", but 44 is very doable for mostly highway miles.
I have done the highway miles for many tanks -from easy highways to hard highways. From shifting at low rpm to high rpm. I used premium to regular gas. I even added some expensive gas additive. Saddle bags on and off. Absolutely not even close to 44mpg. Highest I got is 38.2mpg. You tell me how I can achieve this magic meth!What kinda oil and do you use winter or summer air in your tires?

Are you riding with any bar risers or is it stock?

You tell me how I can achieve this magic meth!Flatlanding on the interstate at ~75-80 mph in ECO mode, I can average 52 mpg on a tank easy. I can also average <20 mpg if I ride the **** out of it. Just so happens the puter tells me my average for 3600 miles is 44.2.
