Took a 3 hour autotune ride yesterday. I rode it in every type of riding conditions I could from slow low rpm parking lot riding to in town stop and go riding to canyon carving up to the base of the ski basin at a bit over 10,000 ft elevation then back down and onto the highway.
Got 38.8 mpg (105 miles on 2.7 gallons) while autotuning and most of the riding was in town and in the twisties with about 45 minutes on the highway. Thats up from 29.9 on the last tank so I'll have to keep track and get an average to see if it continues at that rate. The bike was already running pretty well but it is running great now! The PV was money well spent that's for sure!

The PV is a great investment....money well-spent.
That sounds like a fun 3 hour ride...too bad you had to autotune.
I get 36-37 mpg on my daily commute which includes stop and go traffic for 5-10 miles depending on traffic.

It was a fun ride. It would have been more fun if the road up to the ski basin didn't have so much loose cinder and salt still, but I can't complain. It was a great day.
I've been averaging right around 30 mpg riding to work in town daily. Hoping this autotune seasion helped to improve that.
So I was working a bit more on the 'buckshot' theme today... I
'll have to confess that 316 stainless mesh is a bit of a 'challenge'
for the non-professional to work with....
Did a bit more cleanup, but I'm calling this side 'done'.
Still have to get the other side finished & maybe a few
other odds & ends...
wow, when i first saw this I thought it looked pretty crap-tacular, sorry to say, but dammmn that clean up and 'filter' makes that look AWESOME!
that's why they say stay away from women that don't respect your vision and dreams... man looks at a crappy field and sees an estate; bad woman looks at the same field and calls it a bad investment. man builds estate.... ditches woman (if he's smart)
installed a PC-v, in my BIL SV650!
Then I took Samantha for a ride, went shooting, and then a ride with the wife. did about a hundred miles all said.
Did notice it looks like my progressive 412s look like there is a slight angle to them. followed the directions as far as the 'spacers' - thoughts?
Maybe its the angle? The right one looks like theres more of an angle.
Not sure what I could measure against to determine. There is some rub on the plastic inside the spring, but it doesnt seem like its rubbing against when Im off the bike
Installed some 883 Iron/48 sportster bars on my Roadster. Previously installed Biltwel Torker Grips, G2 throttle tube, 883 Iron turn signal housings, Black headlight trim ring, HD extended turn signal buttons and drag specialties levers. I'm happy with it. Less chrome, feels tidier.

Interesting. Let me know how things level out. I need to do some more autotuning on mine too. I know we were getting the same MPG (30-32 average) before.
