Here is a dyno sheet I found in the tour pack alone with the SE tuner cartridge.
Poor fuel economy
Hello All,
New to the forum so take it easy with me!
I recently picked up a 2010 FLHTK from a second owner. After running a couple fuel tanks my calculations came around 31mpg.
The bike has SE air cleaner, SE tuner and a set of Reinhardt true duals, the PO also said that is has 240 cams? Cant find any info on them.:mad nor the PO has any documents on the work done.
The bike runs great and has a pretty good lope to it, I can see at the end of the pipes that is running rich. Base on my searching other people are getting around 40ish mpg for basically the same set up.
Can I play with the tuner and adjust the fuel to milk a better gas mileage?
Thanks in advance

Hopefully some one knows how to read the dyno sheet and be able to tell me if the A/F is set too rich.
We get 50+ mpg up here. All you gotta do is switch your bike to "Imperial Gallons" .
.
Thank you for the comments,
So guys, the A/F readings are good based on the dyno chart?
If am in the 38-40 mpg range I be happy.
Can I gain the extra miles with a fine tuning on the SERT or replacing the cams is the only way?

You might be able to lean it out a little, but I don't think you will see a 7-8 mpg improvement. That dyno run shows the bike is set up to make good torque a lower RPMs. It takes fuel to make power, and you are making power right in the sweet spot of the cruise range.Thank you for the comments,

You can NOT go by the fuel gauge !!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank you for the comments,

Fill tank Full to the top, set trip odometer , go for a LONG putt, fill tank back to the top, record how much fuel you used and how many miles you rode.......do the math .
Cool,
So am going to do my homework to see what all takes to do the cams to return her to stock internals.
Am getting too old, speed not a factor, just want to cruise across the states and not doing it 150 miles at the time.
Thanks Webco2, that's how I do it
Your setup now is almost ideal . The little that you may save on fuel by changing it all back will not equal the "fun-factor" you will lose .Cool,

I'm running SE203's and I get about 32mpg all around, with a boost to almost 34 for just Hwy riding only. If you just have to have more miles between fuel stops, you may want to look at a Aux. fuel tank .
I agree:thumbsup
The more I ride it the more I get use to, I have a couple months to figure it out.
That's always an option
