The bike is new to me as of November - it just got it's second tank of gas. I calculated my mileage after a 3.6 gallon fill up. With 105 miles showing on the tripometer that comes to 28.5 MPG. Granted, my commute is fairly short (maybe five miles) and it takes a few minutes to warm up in the morning, but it's not ridden hard. The bike also smells like gas - it's probably just the exhaust. I don't see any obvious leaks or anything - what can I check or change to improve my MPG?
On the plus side, it's better than twice the 12.5 MPG I get with my 2001 F-150 FX-4.
