Does gas mileage go up after break-in?

So I've got about 1700km's on my sled, and originally was getting around 23 mpg (cdn gallon, not us) when new.

My trip today was 107km's, easy going only a couple of short jaunts past 90 kmh, easy on the throttle, mostly easy lake and back road riding around 60 to 70 kmh. When I go home, the Phazer took 2.5 cdn gallons to fill.

So 107km's is around 66.5 miles, this works out to 26.6mpg.

Has anyone else noticed an increase after break-in? I haven't tried figuring out what the mileage is when I'm really hammering down, but I thought this was pretty cool.

US gallon x .8323= CDN gallon.
CDN gallon x 1.2= US gallon.
 
the thing is that people usually ride it harder after break in period is done so no, i have not noticed the engine being more efficient.
 
usually i get around 23 or so and i have 5300 kmh. i ride with 120km on a tank easily. and im 14 so you know i like to spin the track. but im taking a ride up 22miles to the lake tomorow back and forth so ill see
 
I'm glad to see others are getting mileage's like this as well...I thought I was doing something wrong for a second or two :drink:

I had got 180km's (ish) on a tank last year, when the display started flashing low fuel at 1/8th tank, I'm curious what I could get now.
 
First tank or two were in the 14mpg range and now I average 17 riding fairly agressive and 20-21 cruising at 35-40mph taking it easy and that's with a 144" track.
 
anyhting beats 8 mpg, but up north of Canada I just whent on a 200 km ride aprx and when i got back in my driveway the light had just come on for low gas, and it was a ditch bang and alot of hillclimbing, hammer down, so i think it was awsome gas milledge.
 
I get the same distance on mine that a crossfire7 gets. But the crossfire has a 47 liter tank vs 31 liters on mine. He also burns 1 liter of synthetic oil to boot. That said, it cost my buddy exactly twice what it costs me to ride. And he tries to give me a hard time because I have to burn premium!
:yam:
 
when we go on our 7 dat rip,i have a friend that still rides an old venture 600 triple,ykes,those are hard on fuel,for the same distance,say he uses 40 litres,i'm using 37 to 39 litres on the phazer & vector combined,he shakes is head every time
