[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1463713, member: 19880"] On my 2011, I have seen anywhere from low 30's to over 50 miles/US gal (7.1 to 4.5 L/100 km) as calculated at fill-up. (Be careful filling to a consistent fill level and do an average over a few tankfulls). Assuming there are [U]no mechanical issues[/U] and nothing to mess with fuelling, there can still be huge variation due to speed, acceleration used, cruising RPM (gear selection), braking, wind conditions, in-city vs highway, short hops vs long distance, mountainous terrain vs flat, altitude, road surface, ambient temperature, weight loading, towing trailer, wind resistance (luggage, gear, barn-door windshield), fuel quality etc. No point in further speculating on the OP's situation without more information. Need to find out if fuel consumption is truly excessive in view of riding conditions before looking at possible issues with the bike. [/QUOTE]
