I don't have a lot of experience with my Harley Davidson Sportster S, so I'm looking for some help. What is the best approach to achieving the best fuel efficiency? At which speed do you drive in which gear? I don't want to change too early and have the bike bog down, but I also don't want to rev it up too much and get poor mpg.
 
hi @Bubblinbubblin9, the biggest factor in fuel efficiency is a smooth, consistent throttle hand.
you need to avoid sudden, hard accelerations and braking. Look ahead, anticipate traffic, and maintain a steady speed. This smooth riding style not only saves gas but also makes for a more comfortable ride
