Mr Pud, its something which you can do yourself, do you have an owners manual? Mine was also set to US gallons when I got it, easy to switch it over. I normally get 55 + mpg to the gallon. That's generally typical of the GTR unless you're thrashing it everywhere.

Settle on MPG UK

 :clap: Thanks guys, your the best, will try it out tonight.   I thought something was wrong as I was riding like a saint during the trip,  even my mate on his sprint ST was putting more fuel in the tank on every stop than I was,  the only bike which did better was a GS.

Just had my discs (and pads) replaced on my 2010 12k miles model. 0.9mm warped. Thanks to Simon @ Kawasaki UK :-) Warranty doesn't appear to cover corrosion, my ABS "discs" are a bit flaky :-(

 :banana: So the first thing I did tonight was go to the garage and check.  Now it's showing 50Mpg.  I'm well chuffed !!!  Thanks to Burchy And the Wolf.  :punk:  This bike gets better all the time.

That little alteration has just saved you a packet in fuel (or perhaps not)

Well folks just thought I would give a little update to this.

Just to say thanks really to KUK, I took out the warranty and paid online.  Got a quick email back asking what size did I want for my free rain jacket.  XL.  So it arrived the next day.

So it was too small. So I emailed back, kuk said send it and they would swap.  So I posted Thursday and the replacement arrived today, Saturday.

You can't get better than that.

I must say, I was I bit dubious about spending £395 on a warranty, but for 2 years, and if this is the level of service I might expect, I 'm sure it will be worth every penny.

Just one bit of advice if anyone else like me is about to do the same, pick the next size up from what you would usually wear.

Your bike isn't doing any more MPG than it was before, your economy hasn't changed, it just was showing you a distorted figure as it was calculating the mpg using usa imperial.
