Seriously bad gas mileage.

[QUOTE="puppychow, post: 1120483, member: 19520"] Update: Plugs were fine. I noticed the bike seemed to be idling a bit high. At ~1200rpm. I dialed it back down to what I eyeballed as ~1100. Manual calls for 1000-1100. Still OK to keep it at ~1100 perhaps? While the tank was up, I also decided to do a TBS. #3 cylinder as reference, #4 was reading high, #1 and #2 were reading low, definitely off by enough to warrant an adjustment, but not terrible. Got them all as close to #3 as I possibly could get. Not sure if that is going to help. Maybe. I didn't see any pinched wires or hoses or anything of such nature which showed any evidence of having gotten pinched under the tank. Will be buttoning it up later tonight if not tomorrow, unless there is anything else I might want to check, while the tank is up? Is there? This weekend I will take a nice long ride, see what the mileage does. Will report back afterwards. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
