You might find yourself speeding, on the next couple rides, since we become accustomed to a certain auditory engine pitch whilst cruising, and that rpm is now yielding a higher speed. Yes, mileage will increase too.

I just got back from a 240 mile loop and the mileage bumped to 39.5 from 33. I was riding much more mellow than usual, which may have helped a bit. I found out on this longer ride, I need to be at higher rpms entering a corner, in order to get a strong drive out. The top end hit comes later now, but I like the compromise the gearing gives, especially in top gear.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES
