|  Poor Fuel Milage I have an 1983 GS650L i never really figured out my fuel milage before . When it got empty i just filled it. But know with the price of fuel i figured it out and was disappointed all i am getting is about 30mpg on short trips and on longer trips about 35mpg . Does any one have any suggestions or are old carberated bikes just alittle bit hard on fuel.

| Check your plugs. If they're indicating a rich condition, that is usually the first symptom of poor fuel mileage.
