Most of your MPG loss on a bike is wind resistance - a much higher percentage than with a car. Engine off coasting is simple, but not really worth the hassle for me. I ride to have fun, and concentrating on coasting, bump starting, etc. multiple times per mile is not fun. Besides, motorcycles do not coast very well anyway, so there isn't a lot of gain there.
Motorcycles sip so little fuel at idle I don't bother turning it off at stop lights, unless it is a really long stop.
Gear higher, keep your cruising speed down and ride in a position that maximizes aero.
