Do you still have the factory sprockets? Could be a speedometer calibration issue.
ok so apparently my vin is not in the range...so what else? I seriously doubt riding style accounts for it....I mean I keep it around 3500rpm when cruising in the city (most of the time) and never go crazy fast or rev insanely except on the odd overtaking....so what am I missing?
oh and ps: Nelly - my compliments on your current avatar, best one in a long time
I've got a faired 2005. I commute to and from work and consistently average 50mpg or more.
It came as quite a surprise when I put the first tank of gas in it. I wasn't expecting mileage like that when I bought it.
Makes it hard to justify stepping up to an FZ1 with its claimed 36mpg highway.
I really love this bike.
I've checked it the last 2 tanks... seems around 34 MPG or so. I mainly use it for commute. The FZ6 just doesn't seem to have enough low end. Any time I slow down (yield sign) I have to go into 1st. 40mph in 6th gear give me the stutter when I try to accelerate any at all. I know it's a bit of a step down from a GSX-R750 (I still got around 40mpg), but I expected better from the FZ6. Thinking about trying some injector cleaner.
