Carbs have not been balanced in my ownership, and at a rough guess thats at least 3-5 years. I did pop into my local bike shop and explained 'slight loss of power, power surges, increased fuel, slight metal sound at cold and hard start' but they simply said to replace the k&n filter with an OEM one and that it would not be the valves because they get tighter as they wear or come out of adjustment. I rode away with an eye roll hence why I came here. Seems like a needle in a haystack to get shops to do anything these days, I recall phoning before I think to do with some wiring and the place told me to do it myself. Right, thanks.
'(ignore the gauge)'
I may just have to, I think the problem I have is that my commute is out the way with limited petrol stations beyond a point so generally have to fill up way before to cover myself. I'll start tracking my MPG via the fuelly webiste (if it still exists) to keep an eye on what I'm getting because as you point out it could mean anything.
At 49k miles its a bit of a triggers broom, i'll have a poke around at a few things the weekend and work my way up.
