Thanks. :thumbup:^^ I got the same sort of results robmorg, a measurable & reasonably significant improvement in fuel economy from my 2013 RT Ltd after the heat alleviation work was done; altho I never had anywhere near the same sort of heat issues to start with!!
Can I think of a plausible explanation for the improvement?!? Not really........ There are a few 'out there' ideas floating around, but nothing I can see that really fits in with what we've been told the recall work did to the fuel system & the ECU tune.... Still, it's obviously made a difference & the fuel economy gain is not something I would like to give up...
Yep, I've read those same "ideas", but you are correct in that they don't seem to explain the degree of improvement. I guess the answer has to lie in the reprogramming of the ECU after the fuel system was changed over, which somehow made the whole system run much more efficiently. :dontknow:
From the figures others have posted, I know I could get even better MPG than the numbers I shared above if I rode more conservatively. But the dang thing is just too much fun to ride to worry about that. (I do keep the RPM steady at ~5000, though, regardless of speed.) Like you, I'm enjoying the improvement I got. :thumbup:
