Well that's thrown a spanner in the works. I thought I'd experienced when riding with the bracketed mode that the rear pedal had less effect on the front, but according to the manual that mode (2 - High Combined) actually puts more braking to the front than mode 1.

Time for a play on a quiet road tomorrow.
I didn't come back and update this. Well I was having a brain f*rt  :whistling: and my bike is set to the non-bracketed mode (the less combined mode) which ties up with the manual.

12.5 litres every day for a commute of 120 miles = 43.58Mpg. Bike shows 44.5 so close enough. Not bad for A127, M25 & M23.

Over the 1400 miles I did on last weeks trip to Scotland I averaged 55mpg which I was very happy with.

The more you thrash it, the worse the mpg.  I remember a long long time ago when I got it new, I took a trip through the mountains of VA, NC, and Kentucky and averaged 52mpg via the display between tanks....  Never have I been able to achieve it again.

My S10 has from day one, and still does return 60.7 mpg it will do even more on motorway journeys which only account for about 1% of my riding   :clap:
