Welcome to the site.

What kind of mileage do you get with your XL650V? A while back I had pondered getting a Suzuki 650 V-twin. It looked like a fun bike.

In the two years since I got it I average 45 MPG Imp.
I have changed the air filter to a foam piper cross and I have just replaced the front sprocket with a 16 tooth which is +1.
I intend to try each mod for a while to see the difference.

I have only just refilled the bike after the Sprocket change so the next tankful will be the first for this mod.

StumpyFingers -

Welcome to EM! Looking forward to the outcome of the next tank. One mod at a time is a smart move for discerning results.
