IDS and Gas Milage
I notice that with the IDS Iride morenear 2200 rpm most of the time.I am alsoseeing a slightincrease in overall gas milage.(40 mpg vs 44 mpg.)Has anyone else noticeda change in gas milage after IDS install?
Just curious,
Bob

RE: IDS and Gas Milage
Yes, but my MPG have gone the other way. Note that I haven't changed my driving habits with the installation of the IDS. I lost maybe 1 to 1.5 MPG. However, I really don't know if it's IDS related. I need to put on some more mileage before I'm convinced. Heading down to Helen, GA this week. I'll report my findings ASAP.

RE: IDS and Gas Milage
I don't have the IDS but my bike hasn't had any issues either. After the stage 1 my mpg went up 4 mpg. I can also ride at 2,200 rpms with no problem in 6th now.
highway 47-48mpg
in town/ stop and go traffic 42-44 mpg
I live on a mountain and there are a lot of stop signs and folks that pull out that causes you to have to slow down. Not much disrespecting on the mountain just country folks driving real slow

I do think it'll make a difference, as when I'm going 45mph I can now stay in 5th rather than downshift, for example. One trial isn't conclusive, however, and I'll keep an eye on it.

RE: IDS and Gas Milage
I'm still breaking it in, but before IDS I was getting about 39-41. I installed the IDS yesterday and rode 255 miles today, all in the "mountains" here in Utah and Nevada, so mostly under 70. I got 42.8, two up.
I wonder about how much gas is used at very low rpm versus higher rpm. Wouldn't more gas be used to accelerate from low rpms?

RE: IDS and Gas Milage
I've put onover 250 miles with the IDS and noticed that I'm riding in the lower rpm ranges a lot more, right around 2200. I"ll know moreafter a few more tanks of gas, but ithas increased the gas mileage by a couple of mpg's.

RE: IDS and Gas Milage
Just did 1200 miles with my IDS installed. This thing is great..simply awesome.
I really abused the hell out of the bike, did deals gap like 7 times just launching the bike out of the 318 curves over and over again.
IDS held up great, and there was no clatter in any RPM, any gear, on any road or condition. It's like having a new bike.
Did not notice any difference in gas mileage though...
