Default MPG

Just been wondering. Does the riding with a aftermarket can, baffle out reduce the mpg? Because I generally ride with the baffle in at the moment. However when I take it out for a week or two at a time I seem to be re-fueling more often... Or is it just me?!
Anyone recorded mpg's with baffles in and baffles out?

Probably the reason is that with the nicer engine note you are revving the nuts of it more
On its own it shouldnt affect the mpg really that much

When I had my CCC on mine with the baffle out the bike was better on fuel and sound Maybe your just useing the bike more with the baffle out.

Taking the baffle out turns you into a hooligan
Hooligans ride harder
Riding harder uses more fuel

QED

(Never made any difference on mine)
