Another thing to remember, if the speedometer is off, so is the odometer. Today I rode the monster an indicated 116 miles, my actual GPS verified mileage was 103. I gassed up at 95.2 miles, taking 1.39 gal to fill the tank back up, which gives me 68.48mpg. Not bad gas mileage considering the bike had a 155 main jet and a major exhaust leak. I just replaced the damaged exhaust gasket and down jetted to a 120. I'll ride the same route tomorrow and compare my fuel economy.

Man, you put some serious miles on your cycle. I'm lucky if I can get 200 in one year. Granted, it's only limited use for me as I take a train to work.

I've had the bike on the road for about a month and I've put 731 actual miles on it. If the bike would do 65mph, I'd go for even longer rides. I road the same route today and gassed up at 96.3 miles, adding the 8.2 miles after gassing up yesterday puts the bike at 104.5 miles between fill ups. I put 1.36 gal in the tank today, giving me 76.8mpg. The route was a mix of urban sprawl and rural roads, and my riding style is beyond aggressive.

I have to see what my mpg is after all the modifications.
You have a tank capacity of 2.64 gallons on the little Monster. The Vader's tank capacity is 1.58 gallons. Really sucks. Quote:

It's about 1/8 short of being 3 gallons. The gas tank was my main reason for picking the monster over the Vader. I knew I would be racking up a lotta miles and I didn't wanna plan my rides around fuel stops, like I do with the Aprilia

Yeah, I can totally see that. And the semi-Ducati style doesn't hurt either. it's a sharp bike.
