Looks interesting. Going to start using this I think, see how much mpg my bike gets compared to the car.

This is more than likely a daft question but with it being a US site do you put the gallons in US or imperial units? IIRC a UK gallon is slightly more than a US one?

I always put in miles covered, litres and cost/litre. The petrol station receipts detail in litres and my odo is in miles

You've got to put the mileage in for it to make sense

Put it in litres to save confusion.
UK gallon is 4.5l, US one is 4. (ish)

I'm going off the odometer, so this is essentially the 0 point - 186 on the actual clock. Just added the one before from an estimate though, so we're looking at low 40s as a baseline.

I haven't got better than 37mpg yet, my average is 34...but I'm not surprised for what I am doing, the last was 30!

P.S. have you seen this: http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm

Service manual seems to agree with that, but with the corrolary that the pistons and bores aren't the only things that need running in - 600 miles of < 6.5k, then 600 < 9.5k after the initial service. I'm sure YC or embee (I think - I'm sure someone here is a materials scientist) will jump in and shred that article presently

Dealer on the other hand just said don't thrash it right from mile 1, so we'll see.

Have used fuelly.com for a while

the sv average http://www.fuelly.com/driver/steveg/sv650s
the sprint average http://www.fuelly.com/driver/steveg/sprint-st

the sv averages 7 mpg more the the trumpet

The scary bit is how much you spend on petrol ....

Shame this forum doesn't support the image output of the fuelly sig...I settled for links instead
