I would look at the clutching first, it can make a hugh difference. My M8 gets probably 7 or 8 on an average days ride, you only getting 3.5 to 4?

M8 fuel mileage

Don't go by the fuel gage. My M1000 drops to 1/2 a tank in about 20 miles, and the my M8 reads 3/4. Both use about the same amount of fuel at the pump.

Your 700 will work harder to spin the track in the same conditions as the 11 m8. My 04 600 rmk worked great in the deep snow, but used much more fuel on the same ride with my 05 800 rmk. Both 144's. Like said previously, reclutch it.
