I picked up a 2006 TE610 with the stock tank, Leovince pipe and jet kit. What are people getting in terms of total fuel range and MPG on this bike? Thanks.
40mpg mixed trail/street. 190-200 miles on 5 gallon IMS tank going dry. 14T sprocket, LV, jetted, sea level.
When I first got mine the dealer had alredy done a pretty good job of optimizing the jetting and I was getting around 45mpg doing "spirited" riding both on and off road. Then I put the JD jet kit in and the mpg dropped to around 35 with no real discernable increase in performance. After I played with the jetting and got it really dialed in I get about 42mpg and it runs like a champ.
Earlier I posted closer to 40-42 in mixed use. Today I just finished a pure highway miles tank commuting to work and got 46.7mpg. Hit low fuel light at 150 miles. Run dry, I would be good for about 230 miles on the 5 gallon IMS tank. This is an '07 JD jet, LV, 14T, D908s, Lynx fairing, 5 gall IMS, Dirt bagz mostly empty, damp Seattle weather in the 45-50 degree F range, damp, mostly 50-65mph, 42 miles round trip each day. New speedo is calibrated against the GPS. Regular grade, fill to the same exact point and lean angle. :-)
