MPG has be a hot topic on these new motors and would like to see what kind of figures you are getting in terms of fuel economy.

I know that a lot of people could care less about fuel economy when putting more power, but a lot of people claim that "THEIR" bikes get better fuel economy after getting their bikes tuned.

My builder has asked me a few times about my mpg.... and others have asked me as well. I have NO IDEA what it really gets, because with that torque and sound, I romp on it all the time :-)

Taking a 3 day trip during Thanksgiving Holiday, maybe I can cruise for 150 miles then and get a realistic number..... maybe not lol

My bone stock SGS played test mule on Valley Racing's dyno today just to give him a good baseline for his database. I used to race with Brian from Valley years ago so I was happy to offer my bike to do a couple pulls on. First 2 runs were in sixth and the third was a 5th gear pull.

I know the stock numbers have been posted b4 but its always good to see how our bikes are performing real world on different dynos and weather conditions.

STD correction factor. Take about 3-4% off to be more comparable to SAE correnction factor.

Jamie, Does this apply to a SE 117 kit installed on a CVO 114. I have the Power Vision. How long would you need it?
We would need the bike for approx 3-4 hours to develop the tune. If someone has a bike with the SE 114 kit we will offer a free Power Vision and full tune. I'll extend the same offer if someone has a CVO 114 they can bring us for an afternoon. We have a CVO lined up but there have been some delays on the dealer getting the bike.

Nice runs! if you change the correction factor to SAE the baseline numbers in your chart are nearly identical to our bike.

Jamie, hows the M8 development coming along? I was also wondering if you or dyno jet have a answer to another hotly debated question. If I put a tune into my ECM using my power vision then re flash the stock tune back in before taking my bike to the dealer, will the dealership be able to see that i had tuned it? Alot of people are saying the moco has tatle tales built into the ecm now
