[ST] 05 ST Fuel Economy

[brettwilson21@xxxxxxx]

Interesting that someone asked about the fuel mileage on the 05 ST as I was just about to post on this subject.
 
I've just had my 10,000km service. The bike is running very well. It feels slightly more responsive, but nothing like my '99 ST did whenever it came back from a service.
 
The thing I've noticed is a remarkable improvement in the fuel usage. I was regularly getting 200kms or slightly less per tank to reserve while commuting, running around, etc.
 
Now I'm easily getting 250kms to reserve. Quite timely as premium has just hit $1.40 per litre. I havent spoken to the dealer to find out if there is any significant change in the latest tune to account for this. Its definately something I've never experienced before.
 
Perhaps someone can shed some light on this phenomenon?
