I've had a bike with a Power Commander before and it went from going 240km on a tank to 160km and was checked for calibration numerous occasions in respect to A/F Ratio and proper running. Everything was fine. Talking to others this seems to be normal. What sort of consumption figure are peole turning now that they've installed Tech Boxes compared to stock.

I have gone from 49 M/Gal on average (same commute over a week,) to 46 M/Gal with the Techlusion.

Although I'm still usually at 131 miles when the orange light goes on.

I attribute the difference to the fact that I'm now pulling much harder for much longer at higher revs due to the fact that I'm not wallowing in the midrange hole of despair any longer : )

I'm riding more aggressively now due to the fun I have in the upper-midrange.

Still, not a huge diff. in mpg

My MPG went down. I used to get 145-155 miles pretty consistently on highways before the light came on. After Techlusion, I get 125-135 miles on highways.

If you put the techlusion somewhere easily accessible, I asume you could turn down the knobs before cruising a few hours on the highway? Coming back on the twisty backroads, put the knobs back where they belong.

On an 'R', can you store the TFI in the trunk?

Yeah, that's where mine is going, but from memory (I have had the 'R' tail on too long now) you could fit the TFi under the seat of the 'S' model too...

It measures 45x90x20mm.

I have mine on top of the battery (I have S model), under the seat.
