Gas mileage doesn't seem to be hurt much at all. Hardly noticeable, I would say. After a few miles and longer rides on it, on a couple occasions after it's hot, the throttle seems a little sluggish on the pickup, but clears up quickly. May need to tweek it a little at 0 throttle or something. Otherwise, the bike runs MUCH cooler, still seems to have a little more power, and love to hear the throttle body open up and suck in the air when you crack it open!

Mines worst - but it's a richer map, which is why it works.

With the AutoTune set-up you can have two maps set-up. One of them being the base map (for mileage), and the other (power) which is the base map modified with trim values in the Auto Tune. The PC-V provides inputs for a plain old on/off switch which you can hook-up somewhere on your bike. You just switch between the set-ups when you want either mode. Pretty cool, eh?

I'm not running this way, I got the A/Tune because I plan to add performance options as I grow with the bike - 2-1 exhaust, cams, displacement and it adjusts to all variables.

My 110 gets 200-235 miles with the PCV, my buddy with his 103 and Harley Dyno tune gets about the same. My bike runs great though.

heat is the #1 killer of air cooled motors a couple mpg is well worth it in my opinion.
