If you haven't figured it out yet then look at my "What TenereGUY has been up to " thread. Pics and all in there.
Thanks for that. I actually have *not* figured it out, and even tried to get some locals who *should've* had some idea...but didn't. And I don't know how I missed this guy, but he's pretty epic :).

To be fair... my 50 L panniers are a lot more wind resistance and I was loaded way to heavy... but I always had what any one person needed! With panniers off, only my 270# plus gear on the bike and at 63 mph I am right around 49 to 50 mpg. Just letting people know so they can make a more informed decision.
Flashed my '22 and there is no measurable MPG difference. Well, no difference when I'm riding sanely. The extra roughly 10 bhp and the consistency of delivery and smoothness gained make it hard to stay out of! I'm getting high 40s overall, and I use this to commute and run errands. I still get mid-50s averages on long-stretch highway clips set at 82. Also, I'm not sure who would be fined, or how.

@TenereGUY, you might be the only person on the planet who can identify something I'm baffled about. I had the ECU flashed on my '22 ES - which turned out great! - but I had (and this really bugs the crap out of me) one bolt "left over." I took the assemblies apart and STILL can't find an empty threaded hole. It's a 12mm, black bolt, and there was only one like this in all the fasteners taken out. Maybe you recognize where it might have come from? Nothing is loose or even remotely insecurely attached from what I can see/feel. FYI, I've even stooped to taking this to a dealer :-|.

I'm jealous of you all getting 50 mpg. If my average speed exceeds 75-80mph, my mileage plummets into the mid-30mpg range fast.
At 75 to 80 mine plummets too... but even lower with those wide panniers. Stripped of the panniers and not loaded I get 50 at 63 to 65 mph. Bags on it goes to 40. 75 drops to 30 to 32.

I'll look into it. Tabasco probably will know right off though.

Edited up date: is that a plastic or steel bolt?
Ok, I got out my manual (2015-2023) and looked for an exploded view. Page 4-18 shows the view of the electrical tray and removal. First photo is of the page. 2nd photo is of the bolts that it could be. I didn't circle the one coming in from the backside as that is not black... well, not on a 2017! If all is good then in a few months feel free to leave HOT Las Vegas and ride to Northern Illinois and we can figure it out as that will just give me an excuse to do some BBQ!
