Maybe you were thinking about coasting ?
What I did was shift early and try not to ride too fast.
On top of that you could go for a sprocket change (bigger front, smaller back) to have the engine spin slower for a given speed and have the engine under more load (which means more throttle hence less pumping loss)
Re-jetting is not gonna do wonders, they are quite lean to start with for emissions control.
Actually I recall reading about a BMW R100 that picked up a few mpg with "power" jetting.

specificlly, wouldn't the DWB method be to pull in the clutch so you can coast the most distance? or do you coast up to a stoplight by just closing the throttle?
I've gone up 1 tooth in the front, and the bike acts like can go more, I did find "Gearing Commander" from this fourm, so when I figure out the best RPM range to cruise at, I can gear it maybe a touch higher.
Random question, how much does having the front fairing removed cost? (I was patching the plastics)
