Default PCV Mileage

Let's start with the bike:
She's an 08 FLHX with V&H Big Shot True Duals and a Ness Big Sucker a/c.

I was running Nightrider XIED's and was getting 38-40 MPG.

Installed the PCV, blocked the O2 sensors, and am now getting around 31 MPG. The power's there but the mileage isn't.

I'm not the most savvy person for tuning but any suggestions to get better MPG would be appreciated.

If it is from Fuel Moto, call Jamie, or email him for a mileage map. Should not have dropped that much. Some just get better mileage. My 07 FLHT was in the high 40's to occasionally breaking 50 mpg when stock. Now with PCIII and Jamie's high flow air cleaner, and trying several maps, I am in the 40-45 range.

Default Calling Fuel-Moto

I'll call Jamie tomorrow from work...actually, I can probably do the e-mail thing and have him just send me a new map.

Thanx for the idea!

Default New map

Got the new map installed...now to take a little putt for a tank's worth,....down to Redding for In 'n OUT, perhaps, to guage mileage. Even set the startup fuel for a bit of gas for 5 seconds....that'll get it started easier.

Thanks, all
Mike
