My bike is a 2003 with only 6000 miles. Well services and smooth runner.
I usually cruise at 100-110 Kph.
You guys with better economy. What speeds do you ride at ??

Its easy really.. that throttle is a tap, the more you open it, the faster the fuel flows, also don't put it in too high a gear.... I hardly ever get into 5th gear unless its tarmac and quick blasts of 100-110kmh.
But get used to keeping that throttle closed down a bit more and use the gears properly (I'm not trying to say you don't know how to ride, just don't over rev and don't Labour the engine and she will reward you)
i stick to about 90-95kmh about 50-55mph, got used to that speed in the USA it also suits the XT and my pocket!
