Needless to say, I am not all that impressed with the EFI on my 04 FSE 450.
On the positive side it has no adjustments. Oh, you can include that as a negative as well. Also, on the plus side is that my GG runs very well with the yel/blu wire disconnected. Sometimes its a little hard to start. Other times it starts immediately. I have yet to figure that out. Once it does start, it's ready to run. The gas mileage is a lot worse that I would expect. Even taking it slow my best mpg has been around 40. Usually it's less. Using the conservation or rainy day mode results in worse mpg and it just doesn't run right with this setting.
My prior experience with Motorcycle EFI is limited to the EFI on my CBR. And let me say it has a mind of it's own and it's mind is very good. I guess comparing the two would be to say that one (the GG) and the other exhibits the best of what's available.
If it wasn't for the fact that it ran good once started, I would pull the whole setup and replace it with a 39mm FCR.
The KTM 690 runs an EFI setup and many users report mpg to be between 45-60 mpg. Even my 1000cc CBR gets better mpg that my 450.
Somethings wrong and I haven't found any adjustments to improve it.
