Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
I'm sorry, but you are BELIEVING a previous owner's claims?
I can believe the original purchaser of the brand-new bike got 50mpg.
Hell, I can squeeze 60mpg (imp) out of a GS850 if I ride it like a granny.

Well, I used to consistently get over 50 mpg myself before it started dropping, so yeah, I believe it. Changed out the pods about a week and a half ago. New k&n pods. Feels so much better, but I still get around 35 mpgs. Is rejetting the only possible option at this point?
You put in better pods and the mileage instantly dropped from 60 or so to 35? Or did it just start doing it over time?
Nevermind, just read the thread again, pods give it poor mileage, better pods with more airflow make it worse, it's too lean. You need to jet it properly or find an airbox.

Running lean causes an mpg drop? Also, I pulled the plugs today. I rode up my road doing about 80 in 6th. Roughly 7k revs. I didn't do a chop, but that should be sorta close, cause I just rode back the drive and killed it and they plugs were a greenish tint. I've forgotten what that means, I'm going to go check as well as see what I can learn about lean affecting mpgs.
Absolutely it will.
