yeah, now go get a dyno tune from a good tuner and your bikes mileage will come up and so will the power. Since a good tune is a few hundred bucks, it's good if you don't plan any more modifications soon -- be at a holding place and enjoy your tune/power.

Who tuned it? Tuning a bike is not a plug and play deal.

What year and model?
What mods? (Pistons, heads, cam, exhaust, Air filter)
Any ECM flash?
Custom or canned map?

You should get better mileage than that. But, maybe you are experiencing some right wrist excitement because of the new found power. My first couple tanks after installing the PCV were gone rather quickly. Try to take a 5 tank average and ride the way you always have and if you are still unhappy with the mileage, FuelMoto will be able to adjust your map for better mileage. I think jamie tunes for added performce with respectable mileage. I look at my map and he has added fuel in almost every cell, so it stands to reason that my mileage will suffer in exchange for better performance. My mileage dropped from 42 to 40, but I am happy as hell with the way the bike runs.
