I usely get 22,000 to 26,000 on frt and R on my 2nd gen ven with avon. My wife just replaced her avons with new ones and she got 24,000 on frt and R. I put 36psi in front and 41psi in rear.She rides a 2000 nomad.

[TIRES]

Ive run most major brands over the years and have found avon venom with the best milage for me. I get from 22,000 to 26,000 front and rear. You can get them at the price around 100. for front 112. for rear. My tires seem to wear even because I only use the front brake.

[Low Power on Acceleration/Poor gas mileage]

Have you tried a higher grade of gas? 93 to 94 grade seems to make my 2000 rsv get 48 to 50 mpg on the highway. Setting the cruise at 65 mph and it has 135,000 an still going strong. LGR

[Avon tire mileage]

In the past avon venom x have lasted for 22,000 to 26,000 miles on my 2000 venture. There are two different types of tires mt90HB are for touring or cruiser that has a stiffer side wall for the long haul and the mt90V that has a softer side wall and softer compound tread for sport bikes that will only last 10,000 or more. For my venyure I use the HB. LGR
