Thank you for posting this; need to get my head around some of the expectations.

Don't know if I qualify as independent, but here goes.
My readings are performed by a storage-scope and hooked up to the narrowband O2 sensor in my 2015 GSA LC.
This is a typical reading of an uncorrected engine:
You can easily see that the voltage swings between 0.2V to 0.8V. At 3,75 second mark, I blipped the throttle, and you can see it stays at 0.8 V = AFR 14.0.
The voltage values corsponds to the following AFR values:
I've taken the liberty to borrow this picture from Roger 04RTs advrider article:
Reading from this graph, 0.8V = AFR 14.0, 0.2V = AFR 16.0.
This means the engine is running average AFR 14.7 - 15.0, Not extreemly lean, but a bit more fuel will do well.
Here is a graph show the O2 sensor reading when O2 is manipulated:
Blue curve is reading from O2 sensor, while red curve shows the signal sent to BMS by the AF manipulator.
Now the O2 swings between 0.8 to 0.87 V = AFR 14.0 to 13.6.
This is the setting that stopped the tiny vibrations that I could feel when straining the engine at low RPMs, and for this particular bike with this setting fuel consumption has been reduced by 7% even if fuel saving is not the objective.
If I removed the Cat there would be room for even a bit richer mixture, but I intend to keep the stock muffler. Got so freaken tired of the noisy Acra system.
I also run AF-XIED on my F800, and on that bike the consumption did not change.
