Tiger Mileage and an Atmospheric Ride

Most recent mileage data: 378kms using 19.5 litres of gas, which is 5.16 litres/100kms or 45.6mpg. The Tiger typically returned just over 50mpg before, so I'm seeing a minor hit in mileage. Triumph claimed it'd get 43mpg, so I'm close to that. Perhaps previously I wasn't wringing it out like I am now that it's healed.

Took it out for a ride on a June Saturday when it was supposed to get very hot. Instead it got very pop up rain stormy and I ended up cold. Love riding in the rain though, it consumes all of my attention...








No issues in the rain and I can live with a small mileage cut, though I'm still not convinced this fix has one. Perplexity agrees with me. 160kms in the rain and the bike purred like a kitten.
