Does weight have a massive effect on the fuel consumtion of a bike ? My Africa Twin only gives me approx 13 - 14 km per litre ! Now I have been told that it is pretty heavy for  bike that is renowned for it's frugal fuel consumption ! I weigh 155kg ! My bike has got a jet kit , arrow exaust and k&n air filter , I thought that would make it lighter , the choke isn't hooking ! is this consumtion normal carrying a fattie like me ??? Or is there something I could do ??? Ps I ride betwen 100-130 on tar and 80 on gravel !!!! I make snails look fast !!! :imaposer:
