I experienced similar mileage results when I installed my PC-III. These things are suppose to throw more gas in her to richen up the air/fuel ratio, hence reduced MPG. I used a canned map from Power Commander and am running rich. I expect a little better mileage when the bike is properly tuned.

I am not extremely concerned with mileage. If I had been, I could have purchased a Vespa and saved a bunch of bucks.

I read somewhere that someone I think from this forum called Jamie from Fuel Moto and was saying his MPG was way down...Jamie said "Let me know what u stop Getting on it, and let me know what u think"

I suggest the same I know when I put my PCV on I jumped on it quite a bit..but then again i never rly ever was too concerned with gas mileage on my bike

It dropped my in town mileage bad, but I know it is 1: because of more fuel getting into the mix and 2: I am deeper into the throttle.
