After changing out the plugs I got 58 miles on 1.5 gallons today. That evens out to about 39 mpg and around 100 till reserve. Considering I was riding (not really aggressive but certainly not conservative) into heavy winds with that east coast front coming through on the way home, I'm feeling it's acceptable for now. Much better than my last tank.
