Unless I need the power I stick to the higher gears and use 6th in 60kph limits, 5th for 50kph. Around town 3rd is good for roundabouts and taking turns into sidestreets with 1060rpm to 3200rpm equating to 20kph to 60kph.
In that rpm range it pulls sweetly, without any drama and with good strong torque.
The dyno plots the full throttle power throughout the rev range while partial throttle is, I suspect, far less affected by the torque dip.
If I floor it at 2000rpm it pulls hard and then dies from 3200rpm to 4000rpm when it comes alive again with 5000rpm to the cut out really strong.
However I rarely use full throttle and the same exercise using 1/3 throttle has far less impact[if any] in the 3200 - 4000rpm zone and at 5000rpm up I enjoy increasing the throttle in increments because it's so responsive you can feel every extra bit you give it.
My last 3 fill ups by calculation were 6.61, 6.96 and 6.50 L/100km[36.2mpgUS]
All my resonators are connected and the only mods are Perrin drop in filter and Nameless axleback.
