Yep... Crazy white man magic.

Makes it even crazier knowing that by the end of my Buell's run, I was only getting about 8mpg.

40-42 MPG every tank consistantly with the 01 Gixxer 750. This is beating the bag out of it most of the time and mixed highway city mileage. I have always wondered if I babied it for a whole tank whats the max MPG i could get out of it. Funny how I can never baby the thing though.

i dont know but one time i got over 175 miles to the 4 gallon tank.... is yours fuel injected? low light comes on with 135ish miles and has about a gallon left. The thing is my bike appears to burn a tad rich and if i got it tuned i would think it should get better
