Hey Guys I am having an issue with my gas mileage. Well before I hear it from everyone. I did my test on my mileage on the hwy at just a little over the speed limit around 75-80mph. No hard fast starts no hard WOT getting to speed. Just normal "normal person" riding. I am getting an average of 25mpg. Now I just don't understand why. That's what I was getting riding how I like to. Any Ideas? Thanks

Compression test? really would I feel a power loss if I had low compression?It runs great. No lag, fast off the line and wile rolling on the throttle.

On my 1800 the mileage nosedives when I get over 70. 65 - 70 seems to be the sweet spot for mileage.
