Hey guys, my mpg recently has gone down significantly from when I first purchased the bike. Does anyone have this similar problem?

Mine went down then back up. Mine is all about riding style.

I got 98mpg at first too. Then, once I corrected the speedo, I got around 80-85mpg. Now with all the work, I've done (cam, intake, exhaust, aracer ecu, and other things) its leveled out between 70-73mpg consistently and I ride WOT everywhere I go. I'm sure I could get it higher if I didn't ride around town like a maniac but that would be no fun.

Speedo is about 5% off. If that's the case take 5% off the mpg calculated. We can't be pinching pennies that tight, are we? Yes I know that's about 4mpg.

Hmm, just sorta annoying. I guess there's a reason titles read "indicated mileage" and not "actual".

Not pinching pennies, just looking for accuracy. The Z is nearly $0.06/mi cheaper than my daily. Woohoo! *rolls eyes* I could save more money by skipping one beer on the weekend.
