Mileage increase? I recently added a PC3USB to my stock 14. Stock filter, flies in place, stock exhaust. On the first long ride I noticed the average fuel mileage (not instant) racket up noticeably. I think it increased over 1.2 mpg average in a single ride. I should probably reset it and let it count the mileage going forward.

Yeah my bike is stock except for the PCIII I dont remember what bone stock mileage was. But,, I got 36.9 MPG on the highway running 80mph with some in town driving. I think it does real well. The fuel map has been tweaked some, although not severely...

haven't installed the PC yet, I'm still recouperating from my wrestling match with the lowers last night. I'll try to get it in next weekend, til then I'll start tracking my mileage a little better.

Not to diverge a bit but am I the only one getting about 24-28 mpg with around down riding and some flogging?
.
Will slip-on's and PCIII improve this?

I guess mine is getting pretty good.. Ive got the flies out and PC with no fly map, set of D&Ds I recycled on the stock mid pipes. Blocked the air tube where it goes in the air box. I am getting 40-45 all the time, checked the average on the screen and it was 45. Bike is very smooth and idles perfect. It also eats my Buds Busa for lunch. Got a -1 front sprocket I plan to install as soon as my speedhealer gets in, am almost afraid to mess with it, dont want to upset the mileage thing..... TB

My first one got 28mpg. The Ninja two is averaging 24mpg. All stock. Should improve when broken in but it looks like 28 will be about right. Very little highway. All in town so far.

You must weigh 500 LBS and drive in 1st at 90 MPH...that's some seriously shitty mileage dude...
SWFT, once I installed my pipes/PC3...mileage went up 2-3MPG to 36-37 highway at 85. Engine heat dropped huge as well...and then again with a water /redline mix.

I got 38 to 39 in town and 42 to 44 on my 1700 mile trip. Don't know why you two only get in the 20's. Even with all my mods I have now I get 36 to 38.

I rode back home the long way today. Mileage rose to almost 37 mpg. Want to see what happens with the h/m TiForce pipes on it.
