Well, it's all done, and all assembled.

No cat, new Yosh 77, new plugs, new wires, and clean Air filter. So I filled the tank (again) with non ethanol premium, and hit the road. 4.5 miles in town, then a 70 mph 70 mile run, and re-filled the tank. It took 1.98 gallons… that's 41.1 mpg !!!

It runs smoother, accelerates (seat of the pants) much faster, is just a quiet in the cockpit, but other riders say it sounds MUCH more robust...

All in all, I'm a happy camper. And the dash bag stayed in place, and without concern.

That's a odd way to check mpg, And not a very accurate way i might add.:dontknow:

The same trip before all the changes gave me 24.7 mpg - and is an optimal trip for my RT (steady speed). I was able to compare apples to apples, and will continue to monitor over time.

I don't care what town milage is, only highway, as needed for touring.
