PC-V Milage Map?

I bought a PC-V from FM last year with a map preloaded. I'm interested in a "milage" map so I can increase my MPG on trips.

Couldn't I just use a "zero" map? Or do I need to provide some increased AFR than 14.6?

Edit: Have installed the map switch and use a zero map right now for milage. There has to be something more useful, so I have contacted Kieth at FM for a milage map.

Thanks...

I think that's a conversation with Fuel Moto to see what can be done to the Power Commander* settings

As we get to touring season a few riders are realizing that 32 MPG isn't conducive to seeing America.

( unless you tour with a bunch of Sporty riders, they need to stop every 110 miles)

Another thread is covering suggestions such as checking for free wheeling bearings, tire pressure and all that.

speed ( wind resistance) vs MPG etc.

* well, they don't call it the "mileage commander"

You can also just ask Fuelmoto for a mileage map. Install it and be done with it.
My experience is that it will still be fine in slow traffic and hot days.
