I am riding it more aggressively now...but I have been for the past month...and I still got the same amount of mileage out of it.

I do fill it on the sidestand...but I fill it right up til it gets to the filler neck, and stop. It usually takes something like 4-4.5 gallons that way when it's empty.

For the second trip that my mileage sucked, yes I was on a highway blaster. Average speed of about 90 mph, with stints up to 95. Rpms were around 7,000-7,500 steady. Would this make the bike hog down gas much faster?
