Burgie gas mileage is very sensitive to outdoor air temp. Winter (in Lower AL at least) is down to 60 mpg.
Riding at 80 degrees I get over 70 mpg. It's all in your right hand, how you accelerate.
I have seen 80 mpg on a straight and level road, about 50 mph. (Using the trip #2 odometer, reset it while cruising) :)

I still always wonder how anyone gets 70mpg+ or better out of these. I have to BABY IT to get to 65mpg. I mean 55mph at the very most and accelerate basically slower than most old lady's got me to 66mpg once. I keep my tires inflated a little over front and rear, and even riding one up only doesn't get me more. I only got 95mpg or so out of my 98' Yamaha 49cc.

Maybe you have a problem caused by the dynojet power commander you fitted or it could be just carrying excess baggage LOL

    Both headlights on my '08 400 are out. Everything else works fine. The bike starts up great, the brake lights, turn signal and dash lights work.

  6. Transmission pulses at slow speed on new 400 Burgman

    Burgman 400 2007 - Current model year
    I have 1000 miles on my brand new (March 2020) Burgman 400. It was smooth as glass. Rear tire damaged, managed to keep enough air in it to get to the dealer, who replaced the rear tire. Since then, when cold, and occasionally when warm, at zero to 15 miles per hour the transmission pulses...
