I got 6 out of 19 (31.58%), and have some serious reservations about their answers...

10 outa 19 (52.63%) -- sigh, I thought I was smarter than that -- but I'll bet my wrong answers would be right on a 1965 Triumph, bygolly!

Is it any wonder Buell does not produce a user adjustable ECM?

I will agree that one or two of his answers are suspect.

The one I missed, was a dumb mistake on my part for not reading the question correctly.

You got 18 correct answers of 19. Your score is 94.74%
Excellent!

3. Is there a difference in fuel used at the same RPM’s between 1st gear and 5th gear under full throttle?
Your answer False is wrong.The correct answer is True

Let’s ask this question. If you were to take a ten-speed bicycle, now while on a small hill, start out in 1st gear and as fast as you can, move 30 ft. Then, try that same thing in 5th gear. Which gear would you burn more calories in? You are right if you said 5th gear. The lack of gear reduction causes you to work a lot harder to accelerate your mass (this is load). The heavier the load the more fuel you need.

I can't get my head around this one, at full throttle at a certain rpm the engine is producing the same power therefore consuming the same amount of fuel irrespective of what gear you're in. Have I lost the plot?

I'd say that //during acceleration// you will use the fuel diffrently, but at redline, fuel usage would be the same....

9 out of 19. This would be much improved if it was written in English.
