With the stock jetting, air filter, fairing and sprocket sizes?

I am not sure about the jetting. I have not looked at it to see if it is stock or not. The gearing and filter are stock though as are the pipes. I have a lot of maintenance records for it and there is nothing about any mods. As far as I know it is box stock other than a PAIR delete.

I need to behave myself to get 44 and above. If I ride the way I want I get upper 30's maybe 40 if I am lucky on the highway.

My '01 has 40K on it, stock jets, etc., and still is getting 43mpg consistently. I ride it easy most of the time, but occasionally stretch it out so it doesn't get too used to an old guy riding it. :cool: Yeah, it's the red one right there on the left.

The 14+ coats of "paint" (including OE application) would make a great base for a new color. Now 3 other forum members are interested too.
