You obviously misunderstood what I was saying with One would assume.... Never said yours wasn't, I was merely stating how mine IS.


I meant that logically it makes sense that it would be a percentage. In my case, it is not a percentage based on my readings with an external GPS.

Thanks. I don't have one yet but seriously considering the PV2. I'm learning that you can dial in lots of parameters with this tuner. A lot of guys swear by these things.

Yep, that's what I have. Love it and, it's hard to mess things up if you start with FMs base tune they load.

The FM folks seem to be really hands on when it comes to support too. That I like.

My '14 RK is about 4% optimistic on the speedo and odometer.

First 1,500 miles = 40.4, GPS corrected, with a fair amount of throttle ON and throttle OFF trying to get the rings to seat.

I'm finished jockeying the throttle for break-in so the MPG should improve.

Our beefed up 07 and 08 UCs always average 35 to 37 MPG but that is 10 to 15 MPH above speed limit and my bone stock (going to keep it that way)15 Ltd is same even after 1800 miles still close to 35 MPG riding solo, I know I can easily get 40 + MPG if I drive it like an old lady but don't see it happening another 20 years or so.

on my 13 sg i was getting 38-40. with a stage 1 powervision ac fuelmoto 2-1-2, and auto tune, bumped up to 42-44 combined. If i kept it under 65, I could get 50mpg (only did that once or twice though, riding backroads the whole tank) lol

38 MPG is about right for an aggressive rider. I get that on my SGS. sometimes I get 42. Somewhat depends on riding habit and somewhat on how much corn ethanol they put into fuel.
