[QUOTE="Warchild, post: 1453480, member: 4"] The ECU has returned from 2 Wheel Dynoworks in Kirkland. Really hoping a re-flash back to factory specs would allow MPG to climb into the mid-30's. The initial test findings are not encouraging, however. That said, it was only a quick 60 mile test run, mostly interstate. I am seeing slight improvement from the 29-30mpg I have seen since I brought the bike home last week in November. But only in the 32-33mpg range, and that was going painfully slow. :( Like I say, need to run the bike and test more. The bike is still a dream ride, flashing back to factory specs has not appeared to affect throttle response to any noticeable degree, so that is good. It's entirely possible I just have to accept this fuck-all gas mileage, and solve the range problem by carrying more fuel. By this I mean I am going to find a totaled MT10 and salvage the fuel tank, and give it to my fabricator to cut into the tank and enlarge it by 1.5-ish gallons. I am not keen to carry anything larger than the 4.3 gallons I am currently carrying. More to come. A lot more. I am not letting this crap MPG stop me from this project build.
