Your right wrist can greatly influence your gas mileage

Try shifting like this and using less than 20% throttle -

1st to 2nd 15mph
2nd to 3rd 25 mph
3rd to 4th 35 mph
4th to 5th 45 mph

You will have to be light on the throttle at those shift points.

Might gain you about 10 more miles per tank

 

Can you verify what your tuner is ? I cant find anything on this one.

 

If you want best mileage as well as best performance get the “toy”off your bike and get a proper flash-tuner.
Then either do your own autotuning or take it,to a qualified, experienced tuner,and get the absolute best running bike you could imagine...and excellent mileage to boot.
There is no substitute for a proper recalibrated EFI system...period.
Saving a buck and using an inferior tuning device and not tuning (autotune or dyno) will never produce assumed results.

I have to disagree to a point. It depends on what you want and plan to do. I have had my FuelMoto MicroEFI on my bike for several years with no issues. I did spend time tuning and it runs great with very good economy.

 

Disagree too. Gains will be minimal given the parameters.

 

Not sure you can make that statement until you have experienced the difference between a bike that has had a canned map installed in an add-on box and the same bike dynotuned with a flash tuner that retains the O2 sensors to keep a well tuned bike running perfectly throughout all the differing fuel formulae from mfg to mfg, station to station, season to season, and supplier to supplier.
All that said...will a bike run fine with a power commander/micro tuner? Sure, but there’s much more to getting the smoothest, most responsive bike that gets over 40 mpg @ 80 mph...and that’s a bagger, not a Dyna which will get as much as 50 mpg when tuned.

His 1200cc is basically stock and by his own words running well. He's getting expected mileage. I have two dyno tuned bikes 'currently' my third pending cams. I have a dyno tuned 350Z in the driveway. Do you truly believe he can gain 20mpg and improve performance noticeably?

 

if he chose the correct pipe for the bike and had it tuned correctly he could pick up 10-12% in power and still get 35-40 mpg,,,,,just has to be tuned correctly with good proven components

Has this guy done the math yet? I'd bet he's in the low 40's for MPG's, hard to get much better than that on a 1200 without necking the bore down to 883 size.

 

Right. ~6 hp - maybe, ~5 mpg - maybe. That's optimal and from a stock ECU. Actual gains may go totally unnoticed at around 800 lbs rolling down street. When does that "extra" power come on??? Alas, he has the wrong pipe, and gains from changing the tuner in his case will be nominal. My point, the 'shock and awe' is misleading. B+ for drama
