Fuel Moto 107" and MPG's (it ain't what you think)
My '09 RG with it's 96" and Stage 1, (Jackpot Dyno tuned slip-ons) PCV and a canned map from Jamie was getting 40 to 41 MPG's with the cruise set on 70. Had Fuel Moto's 107" kit installed a few weeks ago along with Autotune, and managed to put some break in miles on it. (crappy weather be Damned !! ) However, today the weather in the Midwest was awesome, (low to mid 80's with very little wind to contend with) so a few of my friends and I took a little road trip from St. Louis down to "The Cave Restaurant and Resort". (Yes....it really is a restaurant in a cave!) Anywho, I checked the MPG's on the way down and back. (I was expecting to take a little hit in the fuel economy department) Going down, with a bit of a headwind, I got 40.19 MPG. Not too shabby....I can live with that. But, coming back I got 45.34 MPG !! Better fuel economy with a bigger, more powerful engine, and this was with the A/F numbers that Jamie has set up in the Autotune when he sends it to you. (which, to my understanding, are actually a little on the rich side) The best I ever got with the stock 96" was 47MPG's......once. Now I'm wondering if I should leave well enough alone or start playing with the A/F ratio a bit to see how much more I can squeeze out of it. Hmmmm.......decisions, decisions. Oh yeah, the bikes runs great, I couldn't be more happy!! Apparently you can have your cake and eat it, too!!!
