[Ducati] monster mileage & warm-u

[mike major]

It sounds wrong to me.  I bought an 01 750 Monster from Hatter which was
really cold blooded untill I installed a jet kit, I usually got over 40 MPG,
50 crusing on the freeway.  I assume yours is fuel injected as it is an 05,
they have been setup lean to pass EPA, so I suspect that after you get some
more miles on it a Power Commander installation would make you a lot
happier.  Also, if you ride a lot in The City or Marin county lowering the
gear ratio by installing a 1 tooth smaller front sprocket is probably a good
plan.  Happy trails, Moonbeam
