Count me in!

Kenif, that's a healthy gain, that! Report on your mpg, please.

Decided to run till the light came on, never tried it that far before,managed 150 before light came fully on did another 10 miles then filled up.squeezed 16.5 litres into that funny shaped thing on top of the bike. Didnt think that was too bad, was expecting a rubbish return seeing as the bike is wearing 15 tooth front sprocket, 42 tooth rear , pair of scorpions baffles out ( i know not many of you like these but each man to his own) a giannelli chip and a k+n filter

Ok, back from France

Mileage use has gone from 24 mpg pre-Dyno to 29 post-Dyno. Still thought it was a bit cack but then worked out that the bike NEVER did better than that! Used to get the fuel light at around 110 miles but have only just done the workings out. Surprisingly, turns out to be about, erm 29mpg

Glad I'm not doing the US gallon mileage

All said though, the bike is running miles better since PCIII and Dyno treatment. Infinitely more responsive and linear power delivery. Feels a bit like getting a new bike so that puts off the the, 'What do I get after the Falco?' question for a bit longer.

Word of advice for the tourers amongst you, Michelin Pilot Power's square off really bloody quickly if you do a fair bit of two-up work, even when you take the really squirly roads everywhere (D108 anyone?).

only had my falco for 4 weeks and have been hitting reserve light at about 150 on my commuting miles. Did some motorway last week and hit reserve at 170 miles, got to a garage in 10 miles and managed to squeeze £17.80 into it...well pleased and impressed

I usually get 40+ mpg with mine driven fairly normal, (i.e out on a fun run

), mid to high 30s if I really cane it. Have seen 50 odd on a steady run.
Std. ECU with snip, Beowulf Race cans with baffles in, K&N filter kit.

Same as that Petel and Howard, very reasonable returns, the last fill uo came at 175miles, the return was 45 mpg.
