Seriously I haven't had much luck modding bikes but then I haven't done much modding either.
I did gear up a chain drive CB450 with a larger front sprocket; engine was noticeably more relaxed especially on the highway but I don't have fuel logs or any memory of an fe increase. I always air bike tires up to the top end of the specs but not way over like on cars. I short shift and skip shift; accel briskly and cruise slow and steady and that's about it for technique. I've never gotten fe that's really spectacular on a bike. That Ninja on here with over 100 mpg, though, he's found some things that work.
