Suzuki LC 1500 Gas Mileage

  • October 30, 2010 10:03 AM PDT
    I have a LC 1500 and my fuel mileage is about 25 miles to the gallon.  I checked with a mechanic and he said I might have to have the carbs. rejet.  That is going to cost around $400 and take about a day.  My question is, is there anything I can do before to try to get better mileage?

             Thanks JW

    I would suggest going to the LC1500 forum. I have a Boulevard C-90 and they have been a God send !!!

    Hey JW, Do you have any other mods done to the bike - performance wise. Is the 25 MPG an average? or is it running hard at 85 mph?

    My Stock 05 C 90 will do 48 mpg at 75. Is also injected. The Delphi forums are a good guide plus Suzuki owners club has some good help also.. Will have to list all changes to get good advice either place.
