No. I am trying to determine if this is my imagination or not. It's subtle but I do notice a difference in the feel of the bike. And the MPG's are different... I think. I have yet to measure the numbers. At my next fill up, I will do that.
What could have happened, other than disconnecting the harness, which I am fairly certain we didn't do.

Did you check to make sure the connections are tight and no visible crimping where you routed it?

I think your question is pretty hard to follow and get an understanding of what you are trying to say. You say reving high. Ok so is it reving high and you are hardly moving?? or what? Is it reving high by itself? Is it reving high and you hardly twist the throttle?

Im not 100% for sure but on these new FI bikes I dont think you can even adjust the rpms even with a tuner I dont think you can.. Maybe your throttle cable is sticking a little or somethin

I know its hard to follow. That's why I've said that it might be my imagination. It feels like its revving hard while I'm riding. Not at all at idle.
