[leolion]

no lights on the dash, no pool of fuel underneath, it feels like its running correctly?

no i checked inside the tank the fuels deffo gone somewhere!

Brakes not binding, all correctly adjusted, tyre pressures good, chain adjusted correctly etc?
Or despite keeping to a self-imposed 55mph limit, are you riding in some kind of ham-fisted way, and/or doing loads of very short trips?

Why do I get the feeling you don't really know what fuel consumption you're getting and I'm wasting my time with you?

OP, what do you usually wear while riding and what's body position on the bike?

Keeping your head down and wearing proper clothes does save fuel.

Is anybody else smelling something with this thread? In fact is anybody else thinking the O/P smells of sock?

Doesn't the Gen 1 Busa have the slipperiest fairing?

Now coat that in the afore said green swarfega and it will cut through the air so efficiently it will make fuel, not use it.

So it's obvious a Hayabusa is the best bike for you.

at a steady 55mph it costs £5 for 30 miles? seems steep for MT07 as said above, something must be wrong, what gear and RPM roughly you on? I ride my cbr600 in london stop start traffic all week with a number of traffic light GPs and running hot with idle at 1.5k and £20 gives me around 100-110 miles

[leolion]

generally 5th gear.

[leolion]

if i remember correctly yes.

I sit like Jesus nailed to that cross (same height too) and I get double the figure.

I wasn't thinking socks but now you mention it..
