Alright...was out of ridding for a short bit due to all the unexpected snow here in Seattle. But, back in the saddle again. Tried a new map from Jamie at Fuel Moto based on better MPG. Went from 32-33mpg to 36mpg.

Quickly after that one of the dealerships around here was giving free dyno runs and discounted dyno-tunes. My dyno run showed that my fuel/air mix was all over the board. Had the bike dyno-tuned after that. Just got it back yesterday. I will burn through a few tanks and see how it is running. I can already tell my RPM's are lower at cruise....we'll see about the MPG.
