I get 50mpg.
I use Super-Slick Pigsnot Biker oil, full synthetic of course. This will adjust to any viscosity you need automatically. If you prefer, you can set in the viscosity you want with the viscosity dial indicator, which comes free with this oil.
I attribute my milage to this oil alone, as before I was only getting 29 mpg, downhill with a tailwind and 42 psi in my tires.

Well... on a downhill, we spilled all kinds of oil on the road and let the bike slide down. We found that no matter what kind of oil was on the road, the bike slid down at the same speed every time. |

I run all my engines a quart low.
Less weight, less oil for slingers on the crank to grab.
Quicker warm up times as less oil to warm up.
Just add a little molybdenum to existing moly already in the engine.
Slickest substance known to man.
Run oil one grade lighter in weight. Nascar used to do this before to help a car qualify for races, lighter oil weight, less drag and more Horse
Power. The engne lasted about 3 laps, but it was quicker, better MPG can be gained by this as well.
So what have we learned. Save Gas as the oil comes from elsewhere, build motors more often cause theycome from here.
Jobs saved, less oil purchased, I would like to see the Wrag Heads in a depression soon.

Sorry everyone I forget to mention the flaming wheel of death we call the darkside and how it could not possibly hold up to a 700lb bike when it was designed to be on cars four times the weight.  but I have no opinion or facts I was just saying. |

I had a service manager at a kawalski dealer tell me that a car tire WON'T work.  I told him he was looking at over 10000 miles of won't work and i are very happy with my tire choice.  At which point he told me again i can't and won't work. At which point i put ythe stuff back i was gonna buy-bout $85.00 worth-and left.  RIDE SAFE. |

I have wesson oil high speed from chicken fryer So I guess the only thing left to ask is, do you turn your Wesson oil petcock off after you ride or just shove some fried chicken into the tank? |

OK on the serious side... I use old oil I drain out of cars at the junk yard, it's free, thick and slimy black.I clean it up by putting a cap full of Sea Foam in it and it looks like new.You can ride it for 50,000 miles before changing . . I get my tires from the same place, Most are bald but I grind groves in them for traction. |

I dont change the air in my tires, I rotate it. They say old air has memory of which way rotation is. Make sure you dont put it in backwards unless you are running a rear tire on the front backwards. Anybody else do this? |

 I use Tanaka 700208, mix 50 / 1. Got about 50 MPG when I bought it, down to about 15 now. Smokes a little. Probably the car tire I put on it. |
