Actually, I'm not sure I've ever seen much Info focusing on this area. Sure, if. Accelerate hard, that will help. I'm familiar with general economic driving habits, but haven't found anything specific about our bikes. Here's one tip I've learned: out of spec valves hurts fuel economy by almost 20%, lol

Have you found a target rpm that provides best economy while cruising?
