Couple of things to add to my last post....
Checked my fuel economy also - 54 miles per gallon (Imp.) over 110 miles mix of slow mountain twisties & 100kmh (62mph) main roads.
Pleasantly surprised after reading test reports ~ 43mpg.
Clearly more power from improving air/exhaust flow can also mean good engine efficiency. (Probably 19t front sprocket also helps here - reccommend for 5 speeders where power mods done.)
Not sure if this fits here, but have just fitted Racetech Cartridge Emulators to forks. On Ireland's bumpy roads suspension matters, & as murphy's law has it, the worst bumps & potholes are on bends ! Cartridge emulators have made a massive improvement to brake dive & general front end control. I've kept the stock springs for now - I'm only 150lbs so no big deal. At $160 for parts (self fitted), for my weight & Ireland's roads these are easily best bang per buck of any mods I could make imho.
