Improved MPG
I installed a switch on my PCV to take advantage of running 2 maps.
Yesterday I received a map from Jamie at Fuelmoto revising my original map to be run as the #2 map for improved mpg.
I installed it as the 2nd map and tested it this morning riding 59.1 highway miles on the revised map. About 3 miles of the 59 was stop and go traffic.
20 mph tailwind 1/2 through the trip then a 20 mph headwind returning.
70 mph cruising speed with cruise control
on.
75 deg outside air temp
209 deg oil temp
refilled at the same gas staion upon returning
45.45 MPG
The best I've gotten with the original map is 38 MPG.
The bike ran just fine and I couldn't tell I was running on another map.
I have a stock 96", D&D Boss Fat Cat 2:1, Ness Big Sucker, oil cooler, synthetic oil.

No. But, I understand Jamie has a retrofit so that a PCV will fit on an '07 or '08 bike and will provide the maps.

there is a hub that you can get that will allow you to do that, but i think that it would be more advantageous to get the retrofit kit for the pcv.
