Fuel consumption up post service

Fuel consumption up post service

I serviced the R6 – air filter (piper cross – previous std), new plugs, oil, oil filter + chain and sprockets.


Bike sounds a bit raspier with the piper air filter, is smoother – probably plugs mainly and is going well.


I’ve noticed that the fuel consumption is down circa 10% – thought maybe the heavier traffic heading into town post summer, but measured on weekends too.


Would the new air filter take in more air, meaning more fuel??


Maybe needs a remap? Any relevant (and/or funny) thoughts?
