I have a 1981 gs650. shaft drive, 18.160 miles and just had it tuned up. It has a little bit of light backfiring when it first starts it but then it runs smooth. I burnt 3/4 of a tank while driving a 30 mile highway stretch and I kept it under 60MPH. I installed new plugs wires, changed the oil and filter, air filter and tried seafoam, and it made no difference. Any ideas would be appreciated........Thx

What is the current jetting? Stock pipe? What do the plugs look like? Either you are leaking fuel somewhere (like the crankcase) or you are so rich it shouldn't run. I get ~48mpg (Imperial gallon, I am in Alberta) in mixed riding with my 1100E with pods and pipe on it, so that is as bad as things should ever get. At less than 100km/h I would get well over 50mpg.
