Avoid braking. Anticipate needing to slow down and let the bike lose speed naturally. Braking generates heat which is wasting fuel you have just used to accelerate and then maintain a speed. Chain tension and lube.

Great advice.It took me a while to get used to keeping the Revs up in the gears coming from more,"Thumper" revs on my old Hondas.The SVs don't seem to be as efficient running below say 3,500 rpm to me.
And I'm still in love with the mega,"Engine Braking" especially coming into sweeping bends
