Default Fuel consumption

I have a SV650 x-plated with a restrictor kit fitted
Will this affect the fuel consumption of the bike?

It won't make it worse if that is what you are worried about.

Depends how you ride it, short trips, ragging the thing etc all eat fuel. Gear changes and speed don't affect it as much as how often the throttle is open.
