thanks...im not really looking for more top end, but a tad more volume and some mid range would be welcomed...not to mention dumping that giant ugly tube.
For me a if i really wanted a fuel economy improvement it would begin with slowing down to almost the posted speed limits.
Can guhl do a reflash that improves fuel economy? I'd love to ride 250 miles before stopping for fuel.
Possibly, but remember that the fuel trims are very minor that they do... the main purpose is getting the secondary butterfly maps changed to something sane. I doubt they could improve mileage much more than the existing "FEAM" that the bike already has (if you have a gen2).
I can already go 250 miles before stopping... but that is REALLY pushing it, and you have to drive very.... "calmly". 230 is much easier to attain.
My low fuel starts annoying me at 180 miles. On a trip I am usually running 15 over the speed limit when no one is around me. I do need to add a detector to the bike. I would pay for itself after one or two tickets. Fortuanately, a mature rider in Hi-Viz gear gets a warning after all the paperwork checks out, unless it is a state trooper or a small town chief. Many times I just get a momentary blue light flash telling me to slow it down.
