You can feel the difference in throttle response, but fuel consumption has definately got worse, not that i care for England but this may be a concern off road in the Sahara later on in the year. Some of the power improvement may also be down to the extra 9000 miles in between dyno runs.

Usually I was filling up around 125 to 130 miles (before the light came on) but managed 181 on one tankful before the light came on.
Kansas City. Recently bought a 950 Supermoto. In the process of converting it to a SW7 air filter assembly, jetting it, and tuning it on the dyno I decided to run it back to back with and without the TPS. Adjusted the TPS before the first run. I found that the horsepower gains without the TPS ranged from 1 hp at 4000 rpm to 3 hp at 8000.
KTM: 950 ADVENTURE/S: 10W50 FS: 3.0 L: KTM: 950 SUPER ENDURO R: This ultra high performance 4-stroke motorcycle engine oil offers improved fuel economy and engine
Here's my take: Pros: 1: quick starting cold or hot. 2: stable idle cold or hot. 3: improved mileage. 4: improved emissions. 5: automatic mixture adjustment for temperature and altitude. 6: vertically mounted throttle body would allow use of an under-saddle fuel tank (lower CG like the 650 Dakar))
Corni Adventurer. It's so strange why there is much deviation on these bikes and maps when it comes to fuel consumption. I have 2009 990 and with original mufflers I had ~42mpg average. When I changed mufflers to wings with small inserts and still original map without resetting ecu or whatsoever, it run 38.5mpg.
I managed 48miles (77kms) riding very calmly keeping he revs low in each gear on another occassion I only got 32miles (51kms). Reserve light always comes on at 160miles (256km) exactly without fail. Oil consumption is 1 ltre per 1000miles (1600kms) I thought it was a four stroke? - basically uses as much oil as a two stroke!
KTM developed a better but more complicated and expensive solution for the Duke and 950s, the EPS system. Does exactly the same thing but - as we all know - can be deactivated in a second. An all gear run on the Dyno with a CV carbed bike immediatly reveals if the slide speed is right. On the 950 it's spot on.
