RE: [ST] High fuel consumption trend
I've also had a seemingly inexplicable decrease in fuel mileage that
started after the 12000 miles service last fall. They did not load a new
tune at that time and I made no other changes other than switching tires
from Bridgestones to Metzlers. The bike is running as it always has. I
was getting around 53MPG (US) and that reduced to around 48. At 18000
miles this spring I swapped out the chain and sprockets. I
inadvertently got a 17 tooth front (meant to go with the stock 18). My
mileage has understandable gone down to 43, though my grin is much
larger. I have the original non-working, but still non-leaking fuel sender.
Could the tires make that much difference?
