    Can anyone tell me what to expect from the Arrow map compared to original stock mapping in terms of fuel consumption? I plan to have that loaded in after I install my LeoVince slip-ons?

    Centerline mentioned nothing changed but he was already getting pretty good mileage from his DD.

    OK, mine was delivered new with de-catted Arrow cans/pipe's and mapping. I fitted the DNA 2 at 70 k's. The fuel light comes on at 125 / 135 k's. the max i have got from 1 tank is 185 k's. It then took 14.2 liters to fill. If i am nice to her i can get 40 k's once the light comes on. 70 % of my riding is done in the T mode, S mode the rest of the time. I did try R mode.... for about 30 seconds, but the FUN FACTOR was gone!! I don't ride her in the wet weather.

    With stock map and in sport mode I was getting 95 to 105 miles until fuel light came on. Since then I gutted the stock exhaust, installed stage 2 filter and updated to arrow map. but have not rode it a full tank yet but I am taking a 1000 mile trip next week so i will let everyone know what fuel milage I get during that ride.

    I took a 500 mile trip today and was averaging between 95 to 100 miles until fuel light coming on. Had to go 124 miles on a tank once.

    Oh and that's with open stock exhaust, stage 2 filter, and arrow map

    Fuel light is one thing, but how much fuel is left of those 12litres after light comes on?

    My T will turn on the light when there is 5 liters left... I've noticed that this differs a bit between my two T:s..
    When exiting the corner I suddenly ran out of talent and fell off the bike.

    My 1200 has the new map. Riding yesterday on touring mode, the light came on at 124 km. Pulled into the first station and it only took 10 litres to fill it up. I think the light is coming on a bit to soon if the bike has a 15 litre tank.

    Latest map going in today, will post new figures after a couple of tanks. The dealer reckons I should see a big improvement? Will see shortly, picking it up in a couple of hours.

    Hi

    Has anyone got any updated figures for the fuel consumption after a the new engine map?
    I am really tempted to get a new one of these, but I dont think I can live with fuel consumption of 30 - 35 mpg....

    Did 155kms today then the light, took 12 litres to top up, so that means there was 4 liters left. Riding had been city commute and a bit of a fang( as you have to on these) The fun on these far outweighs the fuel consumption, and the grin I have is far bigger than the fuel tank. LOL

    i have, in theory, the "new" mapping + dna filter + arrow cans + "sport" mode ... 93km, city commute, till the light goes on ... bord computer says 10,1L
    "touring" mode gives me +-10km

    well ... on the other hand ... a hell of a lot fun
