My GS150R 2010 model (with a 2012 model Tank) is 11K kms old. It's history is poor. Lack of servicing & stalling for months (during rehab after accident)
I've always used Motul Mineral Oil 20w40 & changed it every 2000 kms.
Now last service was done at 10650 from a very famous bike modifier in Mumbai & it cost me 600 for it.
Oil & filter changed, Spark plug too changed to stock.
So at service my tank was completely empty & I filled up some petrol & yesterday the bike stalled. Petrol tank was empty. Mileage was 35.06+-
BUT Surprisingly, the petrol indicator didn't blink & never has it been that it doesn't blink. It always blinks.
Local mechanic also confirmed no petrol..
Now reasons I think why the mileage has dropped are-
1. Poor history. The bike was not taken care of during it's peak time 500kms-2k kms
2. I daily ride 3kms to & from college in heavy traffic i.e. it takes me approx. 40 mins to reach college one side.
Wherever possible I try to switch off the engine & not ride rash at all.
Last mileage checked before servicing was 48 (before that in 50s) but then my college was 10 kms & it took me 30 minutes to reach.
But is the traffic one of the reasons why I get SUCH LOW mileage ?
My GS is famous for it's mileage & getting 35 is like getting 15 in a Unicorn

What do you suggest to check in my case particularly for this sad drop in mileage??
Is it possible to get my old 50+ mileage back ? :-(
