I have tried several maps from differerent sites and the bike runs GREAT, faster than I care to go. But, I'm getting around 28 mpg on several of them and I'm looking to go on a longer ride and would like better mpg if possible. I plan on getting a custom map soon but can't work it into the budget at this time.

Here is my setup:

Hard Krome 3 big straights
Thunder Monster baffles
Hypercharger Pro-R with K&N
Iridium plugs

Anyone have a map I could try that's not posted already?

I would also like to know what is out there for maps. Where are you getting you map done and how much are they charging? I know a place in near me that I was going to take mine in to get done for 200.00.

You'll need a wooden stake about 12 inches long and some duct tape.

1. Place the splent (stake) on the top of your arm starting at your nuckles and down your arm.

2. Duct tape the splint from top to bottom snug, but loose enough to promote circulation.

This should limit your throttle twisting ability from 100 percent to about 4 percent giving you much better gas milage.

I Agree the PCIII not doing much for gas milage. After I put mine on I have not been able to get much better than 29 mpg. I have tried several maps and nothing seems to be working to lean out the mix. I am burning rich with every map I have tried. So I am going to take it in to get a map done for it. Hopefully get me back up into the high 30's again.

Q: Does your pcIII go negitive? I was looking at my map and there are a lot of negitives in it. I have model #122 Vs. the #109 that you guy's have. Not sure if this makes a difference but I've been a steady 37 for a while now.

Mod's PCIII, Gutted exaust, K&N, Desmog, Gutted AirBox. 37MPG
