luv the name calling.
i dislike people looking down their noses at other people, whether it is because they are on a rice grinder, in a club, not on a harley, short hair, not in a club, whatever. i have seen alot of this stuff in life, and i am starting to see it here. what a shame.

My Bad I let my A$$ get higher than my head. Thanks for the wake up call. The name calling was out of line.

i like the apes. what you have them mounted on? i had some nice apes on my springer.

04 Yamaharley. 04 1100 Vstar Those and the backrest make it like sitting in a lawn chair. Added a hypercharger so it gets around 55 mpg now. My other bike is a 69 ironhead sporty with mini apes. I like the arms up but not higher than the shoulder. That's my bro John John leaning on the pickup. A cool mofo to ride the road with.

you think like i do... everyone is chasing the horsepower, i am going for miles per gallon!!! my springer would give me 55 mgp with 93 octane gas, 87 octane i got 49-50 depending whether i was with or against the wind. after the great crash of '08, i picked up a buell firebolt xb12r for a song. while it is radically different and hard for me to get used to, i have the best of both worlds now as far as power and horsepower. i get 105 rwh, just over 400 lbs wet, and if i behave i get and honest 61 miles per gallon. if i get on it i get 50-55. nothing a guy wants to run all day on, but fun as hell for an hour or two.

when i get another cruiser it will be set up for max mpg instead of chasing the horsepower.

Hey MM3-
You got five to six mpg better with the higher octane gas? please explain how that is possible.

mirage1988 · « **Reply #36 on:** December 10, 2008, 11:08:39 PM »

Didn't maen to get off track-thought you meant the colors on myrons face-lol, still want him to explain how 93 octane gives better mileage than 88 octane.

Mirage;
I'm not a motorcyclist, cyclist, biker...Shucks! I don't even know what term to use without hurting somebody's feelings or getting them a little bent out of alignment..

..But in some ways high test actually saves money. I have a logger friend of mine who says his chainsaws run so much better on HT that the extra work he gets done easily covers the cost of the higher price. I only use a chainsaw upon occasion, but the logger I speak of is known as a truthful man.
Perhaps trying a tankful of HT might be a good idea..

I really wanted to call out the spook on this one, the higher the octane rating is-the slower it burns. Factory cars with compression ratios of 7 to 9 percent run best on 88 octane, built motors with 10 to 13 to 1 run on 92, airplane motors over 14 to 1 run on 101 or higher.

myronman3 · « **Reply #39 on:** December 11, 2008, 12:44:23 AM »

call out whoever you want. can i tell you scientifically why? no. but i can tell you that i got 55 miles per gallon consistantly with 93 octane gas, and only 49-50 with 87 octane.
i dont know about burn rates of gasoline-but if you want to talk of burn rates with gunpowder i know my bananas. and, with many cartridges, the slower burn rate usually produces higher velocities. i have no idea how it works with gas.
all i can tell you is the facts that i know, and i got better milage on the springer with 93 octane. say what you will about it.

myronman3 · « **Reply #40 on:** December 11, 2008, 12:55:57 AM »

and i will tell you something else....i used to run nothing but 93 octane in my bikes. one day i put some 87 octane in it and it felt sluggish to me. so i went back to 93. i let a friend take it out one day to take a girl for a ride, and he filled the tank for me. when i got on it i knew instantly he had put 87 octane in it. when i asked him, he confirmed it. no biggy, i burned it out and right back to 93 octane. now with my springer,i could not tell the difference in octane of gas by throttle response.
i mght not know everything about engines, but i know that each engine, although identical to the next one off the line, has it's own personality. some are coldblooded, some are lemons, others never seem to hiccup. guns are the same exact way.

In Okla we have the 10% alcohol mix at some stations for .10 cheaper a gallon. You lose 3-5 mpg and it screwed up my Yamaha and Dodge some how changed back to regular gas no problem. Do the math 10 gallons save a dollar but you lose 30 miles or 2 gallons in town on my Dodge.
$1.46 a gallon x2 = $2.86 what's the savings at all?

My Sporty has 13 -1 have to run the good gas. My Yamaha will get 7 - 10 miles more per tank on the 93 before it hits reserve. I don't know why, it just do.

BTW I hope the colors thread is dead too many emotions both ways.

MM3 may have a higher compression engine, better suited to run on higher octane gas.

MM3 do not worry about those who demand explanation... I see the same results as you... I get 60-65 with 92 octane and 50-55 with 87 have tracked it for about 20 tanks now and it holds true every time...

100hp in normal mode and around 120hp in race mode which I rarely ever see a need to use.

Matt

myronman3 · « **Reply #47 on:** December 11, 2008, 06:44:23 AM »

mine puts out 105. how do you attain race mode? a chip? and how does that effect mpg?

Matt · « **Reply #48 on:** December 11, 2008, 07:07:38 AM »

the bike has a "power mode" but most call it race mode as that is the only time you use it is when you are going to race...

there is a button on the speedometer that you press and hold before starting the bike that puts it in power mode but to turn it off you have to turn the bike off and restart.

Yes it causes me to lose about 12mpg when on and when you only got 3 1/2 gallons to start with... hence the reason I dont use it often... that and the fact that it will hit 140 so fast that I just dont see the need for it.

First, I doubt very much, anyone stupid enough to go for this would do it intentionally to insult all MCs, nor are they that much of a threat to threat to MCs that the idiot would need to be squashed like a bug. Secondly, Aggravated Assault is a felony and a conviction will mean the loss of legal possession of firearms. IMHO, ain't worth it.

But then, I'm a law abiding citizen and believe in the rights granted by the First Amendment as much as I do the rights granted by the Second Amendment.

Altho, laughing at them till they die of embarrassment is still legal.

The First ammendment in a Biker bar means you have the right say what you can back up or what your willing to get your ass kicked to say. Always remember to be tougher than you are stupid.

.....kinda the way it is in all the bars around here, not just the biker bars. Unfortunately, the shape and size of my nose bears testimony to this
