    Greg- what steve said about 10k miles. Plus did you really buy the bike for great mileage? Like others have said "Get out there and ride!" Before you know it you'll be in the 40 mpg range.

    Let me add this

    It really took me about 4 tank fill ups to figure out how to consistantly fill it up. My first tank was 55 mpg--then 30. As of now I get between 37.3 and 38.2 over 90% of the time. That is a tight margin and whether I have the wife on the back or not, it does not change. Be patient.

    When I picked up my bike it had 0.4 miles on it and also got right around 30 mpg on the first tank. Now I have about 8K miles on it and usually get 36 -44 mpg depending on how and where I ride. Put some miles on it and once it starts getting broke in you will tell the difference, My bike is running better the more miles I put on it and the exhaust even sounds different now than it did when I first got it.
