Hi,
I have a k7 busa all stock with only 1.120 milles (1.800 kms) aprox.
The first tanks fuel average consumption was arround 6-7 liters/100 kms, but since other day this average is double:
now on board computer :) shows 12.4 liters (3.22 galons per 60 milles covered)

I'm surprised because the only different thing that I made was disconet battery for a charge one day; raise a little idle (to 1.200 r/min) and change my ATRE mode to off but I do not believe that nothing of this had any influence ¿?¿?

Here the summer is hot 35-37º (95-98º farenheit) and possible this ride days were the hottest than my busa has know...

I read a little service manual and I see differents sensors like air temperature intake or preasure sensor... but I don't know what can be happening :umm:
Some idea?

Try running through TWO full tanks of fuel WITHOUT disconnecting the battery. Disconnecting the battery may have caused the ECM to acquire new fuel consumption figures for its computations while using some portion of the existing flashed fuel economy figures.

See how it does tank-after-tank of fuel WITHOUT disconnecting the battery.

It's solved, thanks.
I try to disconnect battery and then I can see that average was showing Km/l (kilometers for one liter) instead l/100 (liters for 100 kilometers made)
I change this after the reset and shows well now. :thumbs up:

Since the issue only occured after disconnecting the battery, it makes sense that it would be a battery-related issue. Glad you're all squared away. :thumbs up:
