[QUOTE="robinh, post: 848872, member: 27256"] Hi Slappy. I just joined your forum beause I've just had the same Problem!!! Parked bike up for Xmas and early March I changed plugs, air filter and oil + filter and Serviced the calipers everything as normal. Even the bike runs as normal and when I've had it checked over I've been told it sounds great and runs sweet as can be!!! BUT my fuel consumtion had gone down to the reserve light coming on at 150 miles. 22.5 liters for 180 miles. That's 25% drop from 48 mpg 2 up to 36 mpg 2 up. I don't know what I've done but I can now change plugs and air filters during the adverts on the TV. There are 2 main fuel lines under the tank and the feed was definitely OK but I may have trapped the return pipe. Anyway before my run out last Sunday I had tank and plugs out again and checked everything to no avail. Put it back together!! Went on the Run Sunday, 2 up and 180 miles brought me 45.5 mpg. So I'm leaving it alone for a bit. It could just be that Return pipe. Very Srange!! [/QUOTE]
