Went to the Everglades to record some mpg numbers, but I had headwind nearly 80-90% of the time.
I don't know if the wind turned directions or not, but going south, north a big part of West, and east, I had such a strong headwind, the bike hovered between 70mph and 80mph in 6th wot, though could reach 90 when tucked in fifth.

This skewed the mpg numbers. Mpg on the dash shows ~65mpg, but with the odometer mileage, and the fuel used at the pump, mpg read closer to 45-50.

50 vs 65 is a big discrepancy!

Further more, my stride app stopped working halfway, so I couldn't compare the difference between the odo and recorded in stride.
Though the CFMoto app has roughly the correct distance of the trip recorded.

While the speedo is off by roughly 4%, the odo is pretty much spot on.
But fuel mileage is grossly off by
25-30%. Not sure if that has to do with the taller sprockets?
The windscreen started cracking, one of the reasons it's on sale now I guess...

Other than that, the nearly 20 mph headwinds made this bike ride pretty unpleasant.
