How many additional kilometers or miles have been logged on this moto since all the hand-wringing began back in February?

Number two and three are ~1.5 turns out, number one (closest to the front) some 3/4 turns. It is exactly as it was before, as weather has been really awful recently and I can not ride the bike to warm it up for a re-sync at a lower setting. Since I have been into the MAF (and removed, later replaced the fuel filter) my engine feels to be out of tune. Since both things would affect the overall mixture I just hope, I did not introduce some dirt into one of the injectors, when I ran the engine without the fuel filter for a very brief period of some seconds (basically checking, if cold engine idle improves without the filter).

According to fuelly and the recent fuel up, that has not been logged as of yet it has been 1173 kilometres. The total covered since owning the bike (from August onwards) has been 4146 kilometres, which surprises me a lot.

Might be a candidate for an Italian tune up.
