Was gonna post when I had some fuel figures.
It seems good - the main differences are when pulling away and at the top end - It's like pulling away in gear 1.5 instead of 1st and having a 7th gear available at the top. I find it suits my riding perfectly - most of which is in town and filtering then on the motorway. The power is still there, you just need to change down a gear (or stay in the lower gear a fraction longer) to bring the revs up a bit. When filtering the engine isn't as torque-y - which is a bonus for fine control. Wish I had done this years ago.
Will post back when I know how the fuel consumption works out.
