Yes, it has a rev counter. Idle is the same as before. 2k with auto choke. 1.6k without.

No I didn't. 2 Months ago I dropped the bike on its left side. It was fine since last week.

I'll check those connections if the feckin rain decides to stop at some point.

Exhaust is good. Air filter is 3 months old. Checked the tyre pressure yesterday, it was ok. Choke is auto and it works ok. (Idle rpm is the same as before)
Thanks for the advice guys. I'll check every single connection now. Exhaust, fuel line, petrol tank etc.. ____________________ Boris - London |

The weather was decent today so I stripped the bike down. But I couldn't find any leaks. Ran the engine for 30 minutes, sniffed every single connection like a police dog. No joy...
Exhaust is good, air filtre is good, brakes are fine, tyre pressure 30 and 40psi.
Any advice? ____________________ Boris - London |

Faulty o2 sensor in the exhaust
Had a few Versys riders who have encountered the same MPG dropping like a stone. Replacing the sensor has cured the issue.
Could be its just fouled up.
I have noticed that not only bike, but car is also returning less mpg at the moment. Wondering if oil co's have been messing with the petrol and reduced its calorific value....... ____________________ Just because my bike was A DIVVY, does not mean i am...... |

Hi
Oxygen sensors can normally be tested with a multimeter, but normally an old style one with a needle. Connect the meter over the sensor in voltage mode. A healthy sensor should vary about a point, while sick ones normally sit bang on a single voltage (this is why you want a needle type multimeter as it makes it easier to see the deflection).
All the best

Same problem again.
It was back to 70mpg for 100ish miles than got back to 35mpg again.
So far I have;
-sniffed/checked connections
-checked the exhaust
-unplugged the O2 sensor
Can it be fuel relay or something like that? ____________________ Boris - London |

Are you sure that someone isn't helping themselves to your fuel
I used to pinch fuel from my Mums works car and I would always hear her complaining about the van not returnng consistent mpg
Mind you, fuel was only 46p a gallon at the time Ahhh.....those were the days |
