Ran the monster out of gas  [bang][thumbsdown]...fortunately, I was a half block from the station I was trying to make it to. [thumbsup]

Yeah, I'm that dumb!

Remember this? Did it again yesterday going to the same station. This DP chip guzzles the gas! Reserve down to 15 mi after light comes on... Won't be trying to push it any more.

Eh, no such problems with FCRs. If anything the mileage goes up, now down. ;D I guess old Methuselah got it right! [laugh] [cheeky]
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Not so much "fooling" as part of the learning process. I'll take the knocks to turn mpg in mph. [evil] ;D

Aren't you an educator? Even a hard science one?

Why yes I am. Any experimentalist will tell you that you shouldn't be surprised by a different result under new conditions. The thing I really hate is having a swollen tank again that only holds 3.1 gal from "bike won't run" empty! The nominal volume of the tank is 3.6 gal with a little over half a gallon reserve. Obvioulsy, I'm NOT happy with the proposed settlement between Ducati and Girard Gibbs!

- Do tell. I have not been following the plastic tank saga in detail.

True true - you have me there. And there are lots of variables at play. Maybe you should just figure out your rough average MPG and 0 the trip meter at a fill up then ride until XX miles. That's what I do... go old school with me man!

That's what I've done...120 mi (stock) vs 105 mi (DP) til light comes on...~25 mi til empty on stock and ~15 with DP...so now I know. Anyone have a DP spec S2R1K? I'd be interested to see the difference in their map vs the euro DP spec map that I'm running courtesy of ducatidiag/writer.

I have a DP ECU from a Paul Smart (P/N 96517006b) on my S2R1K.  I just had it installed & dyno-tuned by DucPond (so no comparisons possible yet), but the tech told me that the map was perfect out of the box.  I don't have the tools to view the map, but if you do, I'm happy to make my bike available.

DAVE!!!
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend
