    Do you have an intake as well? If so do you have a Race ECM or ECMSpy to reflash your bike, for the changes?

    You should be running on the lean side if not, my GF has a Jardine and gets great milage, with an intake and Race ECM.

    My thoughts are you are just on the gas harder more often due to the love of the new notes being played from the bike ;)

    20% sounds pretty optimistic....& $424.00 is alot to shell out. Check out just tuning your own ECM through Xopti. Xtreme may be on to something about your throttle position as well......;):p

    Any time you get an exhaust your mileage will go down cause you tend to go higher in the revs, or blimp the throttle more now that you have a new exhaust. ;)
