Stupid question but could you be putting the rear brake on while you ride or could the brakes be binding ?


I know nothing about bikes, just guessing.
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one.  Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.

You've got a very valid point there. It males a pretty big difference if your carbs are out of balance, and your brakes are binding, and your chains too tight and not lubed, tyres underinflated. They all make a difference to your fuel consumption.
