Re:Poor Mileage 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I have an 05. I was getting 29mpg when I first got it. After a couple of months of tinkering here's my breakdown.

Rejetted a couple of times
Changed plugs
Moved clip on needle
Moved it back
New front tire
Adjusted throttle position screw
Stetched choke cable mod
BAK
New Kutyakyn Air Filter
New Fuel Filter

I don't know if my fuel filter was collapsed or what, but I never used choke and have to use it in the morning now.

Went from 29 to 42 mpg's.
