Who is running a Spec Ops w/Race ECM on a 9? What gas mileage do you get? And what was your mpg stock? What other mods do you have? I am really interested in running this setup, but I don't what to sacrifice any touring range. |

Well, I had the Jardine but just installed the SpecOps. Have the race ECM as well. However, I've never had the stock exhaust on the bike so I can't tell you what kind of mileage it got in comparison. I never payed close attention, but I usually get about 110-120 miles before the reserve came on. It really depended on how much in town driving I also did. |

My race ecm hasn't affected my mileage to the best of my knowledge or observations. Factory race can though. |

i have a drummer on my cityX with race ECM and a K&N filter. at stock I was getting 50-55 mpg on average. now (and I've only calculated it twice), I'm getting 48-52 or so... seems little to no affect. That and I've been driving the hell out of it since I got all this stuff installed! I'm mostly city driving with some canyon loops. No highway really. |

Yeah, but based on comments from other guys, that was attributed more to the Jardine. I haven't had a chance to drive it with the SpecOps yet as I just put it on last week and am having some customizing done. |

I have the Special Ops or Odie Pipe. Race Chip, and K&N. I lost some MPG.. 98 is max now. whereas before it was like 115-117. I dunno, I think I am running a bit rich. I am not for sure.. I have other things to work with right now.. but there ya go for now. hope it helped |

My riding is mostly high speed cornering, some highway and very little commuting. I usually get 135+ miles before the fuel light comes on, I have gotten over 150 miles a few times. If the mileage drops by less than 10% I will get the Spec ops and Race ECM, more than that might leave me stranded on some desolate backroad. |

Gas mileage? Do these things get gas mileage? |

Who is running a Spec Ops w/Race ECM on a 9? Me! What gas mileage do you get? And what was your mpg stock? What other mods do you have? 65 highway/55 'spirited' 66/55 stock/39 mpg at 110 mph Other Mods: 06 inner airbox. I am really interested in running this setup, but I don't what to sacrifice any touring range. With the 3.7 gallon tank on the 2003, you're looking at 244 miles max/203 probable/144 miles worst case. |

My mileage numbers are 'real world" as seen on my bike time and time again for 22,000 miles, I keep a calculator on the bike to keep track of my MPG. |

The actual fuel capacity is closer to 3.4 gallons. I have never heard of someone getting close to 200 miles on an XB. I think 175 would be pushing it. |

I have not tested the tank capacity. Light comes on, I fill up. |

Y'all must really be limping around. I hit 100-115 miles and the light comes on. I ride like my a s s is on fire and I am trying to outrun it though. |
