I think you may have a problem there.  When my bike was running on 1 cylinder intermittently, I got exactly 37 mpg.   Soon as I got her back in spec, boom, 58 mpg.

what other symptoms did you have when it was doing that? my bike feels pretty strong nothing seems wrong with it.. i topped it out at 110 mph too.. also how did you fix it?

fuel mileage isnt the main reason of me owning a bike.. i have a car too its  2003 mustang gt(both my vehicals are for fun).. it gets 15 mpg lol.. so this is still way better but i expected more . I  guess i cant expect to get really good mileage when i drive it hard though.

I had a bad fuel tap on the frame.   I did the Honda dirtbike tap swap and instantly had my left cylinder back.   Prior to that it would drop the left cylinder at odd times or pick it up only over 3000 rpm, etc.  It was really weird.   I even dropped the bike riding on a farm path when I cornered and the left cylinder came to life.   Yes the bike would top out over 100, I believe the added induction vacumn (?) at wide open throttle was enough to pull gas through to the left cylinder.   It would pick up the cylinder and squirt ahead under WOT, and as I generally stayed in the throttle pretty well, a lot of times I would not pay much attention to the fact that it was running on one cylinder a lot.  Does your bike bog or run on 1 cylinder at any time?  If so, as a test you can bypass the frame tap with a straight line from the tank and see if that helps.

I must apologise to all you fuel misers, I got motorcyclists mixed up with motorbike riders.

Someone who thinks their biking ethic is better than others who have a different point of veiw.

Things with engines aren't always the best things to ride.

BTW woodster, I've got no ethics.
