120 to the tank is about right, these bikes will average 40's with regular maintenance. Not familiar with the plug in tuners. Good call not running to the last preventing wear on the fuel pump.

"Fuel pumps are cooled by fuel moving through them, and dont run dry for long, so not sure exactly what your concern is there.

Never been a fan of piggyback hackjob ECU control, personally I would much rather flash the ECU if a decent one is available."

here's a couple of pictures I took of the fuel pump out of my 1100

pump separated from housing...

red line shows approximate division of motor/pump

fuel flows up from the pump section through electric motor cooling it...path in blue

green line is path of bypassed fuel released by pressure regulator

For me it's an issue of having a place that can or will do a flash. Plus I wanted to be able to easily revert back to stock if needed by just removing the pc6. The install was easy, all plug and play. No splicing at all.

 

I'm back to stock muffler for now.

 

I don't think I'd do anything to bring my MPG down. I like to tour in places where gas stations can be far apart. I wish the 1100 had a larger tank, a gallon or so.

 

I wish it did too. I just wanted the low speed throttle to be smoother which the pc6 did.

 

4-5 gallons would have suited this bike to the ground. The shape they went with is what did it to us. Well that and $$$. I'd love to see somebody make a full function swap here someday. Filled up my guage estimates 180 miles in range same with you?

 

Mines never said 180 when full. I think it goes by past fuel usage, and I only have 903 total miles so far.

 

Fresh motors can take a little while to get to est. mpgs. Another poster here experienced low economy out of the box. After all its a Honda 20,XXX is just broken in! I wouldn't worry about it. The solution is the best one in the world...go riding! 🤙

 

Fix it by riding more! I love it!

 

..having to re-engineer fuel consumption with after market systems is crazy.. Honda needs to improve their fuel tanks on the 1100T to at least 5 gallons. We wouldn't be having this conversation..

 

I love my 2024 1100T..everything but the fuel tank capacity.. I am seriously thinking about taking the tank off this next down season, and having a fabrication Welder split the tank and add 2" to the center..
I'm finding myself having to re-engineer something that Honda should have figured out when they designed the bike.. nobody I've talked to who owns an 1100T is happy about the small fuel capacity.. what ever happened to focus groups? Honda would have been called out on this way before production ever started..

 

Going from your dash for the mileage gets you a nice estimation.
When you want to know exactly, there are apps for that.
Like Fuelio, also on the I-Phone
There will be more apps like that....

Each time you get gas, you input your odo count and the amount of gas you get.
The app calculates your mileage.
In case you just add a bit, just set the marker that you didn't make it full.
The app will take that in account and gets you the correct mileage the next time you completely fill it up.

I have been using that app for years now, and it works good.
Can also keep record of all your expenses and gives you graphs on prices and spendings and mileage etc.
