Depends a bit on riding style but I'd suggest you might still be running a bit rich. I'm no speed freak but did 100 miles of country twisties giving it a reasonable amount of throttle at the weekend and averaged 52.5 mpg. mpg plummets in town though.

Did my tubes on 52k miles and the needles were fine. Not heard of anyone finding thier needles were worn, except Catsbum who's needles had a very bizzare profile that made us think they might be aftermarket ones.
