    To those out there running a power commander- I was wondering if anyone has seen a fuel mileage increase?

    +1 to what Long said. I have a PCV on my 2009 and it helped smooth out the low speed "stutter". My milage didn't suffer enough to want to yank it back out. You can always take it to a Dynotuner and have them tune it for maximum fuel economy but you'll have to remove the PAIR valve setup to do it. On the PCV you can run two maps, one for performance and another for fuel economy, it just requires a contact closure to switch between them. I think it's well worth the investment, Dynotuned or not.

    I just installed a PCV on my 2007 and I'm running the stock map. I'm losing about 5 MPG compared to what I got before. However, this is well worth having the bike run right. Gas could be $5 a gallon and I wouldn't yank it out.
