you need to get a custom map man... using a map from someone else's bike can actually give you less HP than your bike deserves

Don't judge your mileage by the light. Determine your mileage by how much gas you put back into the tank. The light can vary, and may be why some of you think your mileage is so low or so high.

2006 with power commander and 2Bros Racing exhaust mods: I got 50mpg keeping it 4500 rpm or less on mostly (95%) freeway. It will easily drop to 30-40 mpg the minute I jump on the throttle a lot (goof around) and mix in town commuting.

04-05 wasn't very good ongas. The liter bike shootout for those years told us that the CBR had the worst mpg of the liter bikes. I wonder how the '08 will be.
