While traveling into Tacoma to visit Brian (FS2) I noticed that even though I have a 4+ gallon tank, I was unable to return without filling up again on my return trip home. I was only getting to about 90 miles before my fuel light came on and this happened both times, even when I made sure to top off before my trip with the cans I had in the garage. I sent Nels Byersdorf (2 Wheel DynoWorks) a text to mention my concern and he replied, “I can fix that.” On Valentine’s day (how appropriate for my labor of love), I took my R6 in for what I thought would be a run and a tweak on the Dyno. Of course, I should have known that it couldn’t be that easy…my bike had come from California and had a air injection system that was throwing off our air/fuel signal, as well as the aftermarket sprocket and gearing which also messes with the odometer and MPG (but that is getting way too technical). The air injection system causing all that trouble was removed and blocked off with block off plates to lean out the fuel mixture so we could get a more accurate sample and finalize the dynotune for fuel economy and performance. The air filter was also dirty and we had to place an order for that to really make the new modification worth while (to be installed soon). After uninstalling the air injection system and installing the block off plates, the power commander was reprogrammed and Nels removed 25% fuel from light throttle and deceleration. This change will increase the throttle transition smoothness, deceleration and braking, and will make the bike run more efficiently (power to rear tire).

The video is an explanation of what was done to the bike to help with the fuel economy issue (which was around 25 mpg when I brought it in). Nels Byersdorf is the owner of 2 Wheel DynoWorks in Woodinville, WA.
