Ken you will love the better mileage. Mine went up by about 3-4 more miles per gallon even the way I ride, with the throttle open most of the time. We get our first 80 degree day this week in Oregon so now I can get the bike up to operating temperature with expectations of even better mpg and more power.

tonik I run 92 octane clear fuel most of the time. Since the ecu flash, I haven't run any fuel below 91 octane, but the bike runs great on the clear 92 and there is an abundance of it out here. The only thing is the cost. I may experiment a little and try some E-10 87 on a warm day just to see how it runs with that in it. I will let people know.

tonik you are welcome....Thursday this week will be our first 80 degree day so going out for a run. That puts us at 20 above the norm for this time of year whoohoo! Just a few clicks west of here in the Cascade mountains, we have our own "tail of the dragon" highway 242 that switches back through the lava lands for about 40 miles with countless traverses, switch backs, curves that you have to go to first gear on and more through dense fir forest and lakes....very popular but won't be open until about mid-June this year due to heavy snow pack. It challenges less experienced riders to up their skill levels. Out here in the desert we have mountains that have long straights with some really nice wide sweepers you can get some serious speed on patrol and traffic free with spectacular views. This is, THE OREGON COUNTRY.

That's a great ride! My buddy and I took that route when going from Eugene to Sandy two summers ago. It made our trip longer but that's what it's all about.

You guys are making me jealous living here in IA, land of the squared off tire. Used to live in Virginia at the base of the Blueridge Mountains. Man do I miss those roads.

OMG... OMG...OGM. I just got Ivanized. It will be here Friday. Can't wait, can't wait. With all the good reviews I think this is the answer to what we all have been looking for.

I had just bought a PCV and auto tune. Didn't even get it installed.

I always think "Buy the best and cry only once.....well meby twice.

Any chance of returning the PCV, wouldn't cost anything to try. I'm thinking you might be in for a few anxious days ahead. I don't know how anyone could resist. Cheers

Mine is on it's way home!! Should be here Thursday! Crappy weather and some "projects" on the bike will prevent me from testing immediately. This is exactly why I shipped it this week!!

Ride safe,

What MET-RICK said - think you can return it? Even for a nominal RESTOCKING FEE it would be worth.

There are suddenly a plethora of EJK/PCV/Cobra Fuel controllers available!

Go Ivan
