How to improve MPG with an X? Well.....you could do what I did in a dream (yes a real night dream)that I had about a year ago....have the bike converted to a 3 wheeler, disable the engine and install a bicycle pedal arrangement with a 3 speed "click" shift on the handlebars. Couldn't pull out in traffic without standing up an pumping the pedals as hard as I could and backing up traffic but could pedal 70 mph+ up and down hills on the freeway :shock: ....zero gas usage...go figure . But in the real world (not the bizarro Bisley dream world) just watch your right hand and find a riding style that is still fun without hotrodding it...good luck with that one. I average between 38 and 42 mpg with my '03 Retro 1800 when i ride sane. Bisley
