I went to a poker run yesterday and there was a dyno setup there.  So for $30.....
The results were 101 Horse, 99 Ft/lb, 138 mph in 9.2 seconds.  Fuel air was 17/1 max.  The operator is a V twin performance shop.  All he did was rave about how good the valks are.  The bike before mine was a Victory Kingpin.  It topped out at 75 hp, 143 mph. But it was loud, I mean ear blasting loud.
The people watching could not believe how quiet the Valk made 100 hp.  One sport bike rider said "that is wicked sick".

I got the I/S about 1 month ago, 29,500 miles, stock everything.  Normally I would do my own work but since it was a used bike I wanted my only trusted mechanic to go over it anyway.  So I had him do a valve adjust, carb adjust, carb sync, and K&N filter.  I put synthetic oil and a new filter on because I did not know when it had been done last.  Did the ECT mode but that would not have effected the dyno run.
I will be reporting on the ECT mode when I have data.  However, the first tank I got 30mpg, my fault, I was running it too gently because it felt more smooth at low RPM.  2nd tank included the 3 dyno runs which I am sure ate up a lot of fuel and got 0 miles.  That tank got 36 mpg.  Before I did the mode I made a 1/2 tank run at 60 to 70 mph and got 39 mpg.
