Still mostly interstate miles. Fueled up when gas light came on. Nothing major has changed about riding style. Still riding pretty easily and not aggressively. Most of last tank was with no major backpack drag. But I was stuck in a traffic on a few days. Also the bike is due for an oil change which may explain the drop in MPG.

No more aggressive riding. Mostly rode in race jacket. Tire pressure kept at the max allowed. Nothing special done to reduce wind drag. Refueled when light came on.

Cold air is making the engine sound better but have been riding a little more aggressively lately. Also wearing bulking clothing hence increased wind resistance. Also taking longer time to warm-up the bike. Could explain the drop in MPG. Average MPH 65-71. RPM range 6.5-7.5k. Gear changes at around 5k. Refueled after riding 20 miles with low fuel warning light on; mostly on the interstate. Rider weight 174lbs approx.

Fuel-up after oil change (11,306). Refueled when light came on. Riding with old bulky jacket. Rider weight approx. 182lbs. Low mileage may be because of longer warm-up times as weather is getting colder. Also there were a few occasions where I had to ride the different levels of a parking garage in 2nd gear.

Riding with racing jacket on for a long trip. Most of the last tank was consumed riding freeway/interstate riding. During interstate riding was tucked in flat against the gas tank. Averaged 75mph on most of the interstate ride. Refueled before gas light came on.

Rode with backpack and old Tourmaster touring jacket. Changed to racing jacket for the last 40 miles. A little less drag as a result. Have reduced warm-up and post ride idling quite a bit. Have been turning off bike at stop lights that take a long time to change. Refueled before gas light came on.

Riding with gear on and backup on most trips. Drop in mileage is most likely due to increased drag from the gear. Have been shifting at 5k rpm. Also have been idling the bike on cold starts till temp reaches 150F. Fueled up before gas light came on.

Low MPG attributed to the following (1) SeaFoam in gas tank (2) Getting accustomed to bike.
