TRE Removal

[Bugsy57]

I have been doing some touring on the Busa over the last couple of monthes and have been getting great economy from the big girl, around 20.5 km/litre(58mpg), just cruising thru our backroads at about 110-120k/ph(70-75 mph).....Last week I removed th TRE as i was getting jerkiness down low in the rev range so thought that may help....Some of the jerkiness has gone but fuel economy is now down to 16-17 km/litre (45-48mpg). First tank full I though Id stuffed up so have run 2 more tanks full thru her and I really struggle to get economy over 17....So last night I plugged the TRE back in and took the missus out for a cruise and well bugger me, economy back up to over 20 km/litre(58mpg) again....Blew me away. I.d never have thought the fuel mapping was leaner in 5th than 6th but who knows what Suzuki engineers think.. Just found it interesting.....

Do you have a non stock fuel map too? From a flashed ECU, a Power Commander, or the ECU Editor? Or just the TRE on a stock bike?

Just a TRE on a stock bike

He's right mine is the same way. Ironically I was getting 52 mpg before I did a fuel system cleaner. Now I only get about 47. Shouldn't have added the lucas. Oh well

wow i wouldnt put lucas in any bike i own. Its too think and hard on the oil pump in my opinion.

i thought i read the mapping was fatter in 5th...but the timing was advanced...bumping the timing is what is giving the MPG

How are you calculating your MPGs from only 'taking the missus for a cruise' ?

 

[Bugsy57]

My taking the missus for a cruise entails a round trip of over 480 kms(300miles). Ive just done the same trip today with TRE and worked out at 57 mpg.
