First refill the other day returned a figure of 5.6L/100km, which is pretty <i>average </i>but it was only 177kms so the error on fuel volume and the fact it was 1/3 town riding probably tainted the figure.
Today was 5.15L/100km over 279km at the same pump, and was about 1/6 town riding.
Taking into account that my speedo/odo is corrected to be GPS accurate and the OEM has a 5-7% error, we can now apply some calculations to compare apples with apples...
((5.6+5.15)/2)*[0.93 to 0.93]= 5.0L to 5.1L/100km
These figures are consistent with what I've gotten over the past 3+ years of ownership.
So despite my fiddlings, and conquest over the "Chug-A-Chugs", the TDM900 can remain an economical mount.
Still getting 400kms per tank and it's a more tractable bike than OEM... I can sure live with that. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
