I did notice after riding yesterday that the little fluid that collected in the catch tube was a higher percentage water than fuel, it had a faint gas smell vs the strong smell previously. Looks like the separator is working properly now. I would expect some condensation to be removed as the humidity is over 80% here very often.

I don't think the fuel in the tube will make any significant impact on the MPG for the bike. That's more a result of a heavy guy who likes to wind up the bike often. Even when I'm gentle on the bike I still get 55mpg, it just takes more effort to get me up a hill

Merry Xmas everyone, hope your stocking were full of t-handles and other various goodies today!

Still in the 40's so it's time for a rare Christmas motorcycle ride.
