I'm pretty sure the tune is off. I didn't have it custom tuned, as all I have is a filter and and slipons. I grabbed a similar tune from the net but what I'm going to do as a baseline today is zero it out.

And I've gone through 2-3 tanks of gas and the milage has been consistently godaweful no matter how I ride. Given the meager power boost at best it's not worth it. I'm assuming that I've gone from not enough fuel to too much. My plan is all zeros, then assuming that puts things back to normal, try half the values that were in there.

Did you check your plugs? I suspect they will show it's running rich (dark color around the ceramic). They should be a tanish color.

I have a pcv with autotune and Stage two and get 38-42. I think your tune needs tweaked. Call fuelmoto if you have to.

Helped more than your comment in here. Plus he asked if this was typical I was proving the point it is not.

My point was you can have a decent tune and still get good mpg. If I was the op I would find a reputable tuner dyno tune it. You already have the money into the mods get it done right. The reason for the bad mpg had got to be the tune. Good luck
