25mpg is appalling.  My 955 chucks out 110bhp and does 45mpg worst-case.  A tankfull is typically £19 at present and I'm on 230 miles with the light just on so should get 250+ before another £19 goes in!

Aye I'm thinking of getting it setup again when I can afford, no idea how or what to do with the carbs on a bike, so would rather get it setup on a dyno again as then I know exactly whats going on with it :)
