I hear a lot about the great mileage the KZ250 gets. Personally, I think there is something very special about a 125s bore and stroke. The KZ is just 2 of them which could help explain why it is so good. You have probably seen that I am very specific about conditions. "Vetter Conditions" are 70 mph, into a 30 mph headwind, with a good load, (I like 4 bags of groceries) sitting up and comfortable. It needs to be our first choice in a garage full of vehicles.
Will you be operating in these conditions?

It is really important to document the mileage are you getting now, before you make changes, in these conditions. Can you do that and post the results? Can others with Ninjas document their fuel consumption in the "Vetter Conditions"? This will go a long way in helping us understand the results of the streamlining we come up with.
