So I took my 650GT in to Hap's in Sarasota for the 6,000 mile service/addressing the recall issues. Once out of the shop, the bike seemingly runs better than it has in a while however my fuel mileage took a dump. I have cycled two tanks of 93 octane Shell gas and I am averaging 43.2 MPG. This is the actual gal/miles calculation, not the bike's calculation which was pretty spot on at 43.6. I had brand new Bridgestone tires front and back done at the same time. No change in load or habits. I can't for the life of me figure out what the hell happened to 52.5 MPG. I'm in Florida, so I ruled out winter blend gas as it's only October. I know this is a broad question, but does anyone see something obvious I might be missing? MPG doesn't mean much to me in general as the scoot is fun as hell to ride, but I couldn't help but notice the huge drop which got me thinking that something serious could be amiss here.
