Speaking of gas mileage...in the last month I have gotten a new smoke visor for my helmet. So, I have a new racey attitude and have changed my riding style to more of a Hooligan frame of mind -- hot launches from lights, hard revving (almost never ride under 5K and often peaking over 8k.) As a result, my GAS MILEAGE IS 5 MPG BETTER! Yesterday I went 192 miles on 3.7 gal (51.7+ MPG). Last week I refueled at 120 miles with 2.3 gallons (52+ MPG). I think the reason is that I was underrevving. I used to cruise around at 3-4k rpm. My temp is cooler too, even in this hot summer. So, rev it up, boys. That's what the bike wants to do!
