Hi all,
I have noticed over the last month a sharp drop in MPG recorded by the bikes comp (and also evidenced by range per tank).
I have a 2010 F800. I (sadly) ride the same route day in day out for commute, and have not been out for a blast since last summer. I haven't changed how aggressively/non-aggressively I ride - everything in my mind is exactly the same.
However, for the past 7 years, I have averaged 42MPG. The computer has always read 42MPG unless I have gone out for a longer-non-commuting ride. Now it is averaging 35MPG, and has done so for about the last 6 weeks.
The bike doesn't feel any different. The exhaust collector (around the cat) is getting a little rusty, but there is no hole I can see as yet. The only thing I have changed recently is to replace the headlight unit and add a cylops LED globe.
Any ideas what this could point to? A duff sensor somewhere? Bad fuel? Blocked injectors? Could the extreme cold weather have caused it? Anyone else experienced something similar.
(Please I am not interested in what MPG you get on your bike - it's just the 16/17% fall in fuel efficiency I am looking at).
Thanks!!
