Beat me to it Hairy.
When asked about mpg my usual answer is “I don’t care”

Just to make it very clear, normally i don't care too!  When I ride I enjoy, if I want to race I do either I go just to enjoy wind.. Never cared about cons, except I havre almost empty tank and petrol station is far away I just asked to verify carb settings (mixture) is +/-

Then I'm fine, it looks to be 56.5 mpg
And yes, my K7 750 consumers practically the same (we were together doing the same 900km route). And my GS1200LC also!

I want to xcheck, what's your normal fuel consumption on 550K (K1)?
After weekend spent with 550 I can say I can do 125 miled per 10 liters of gasoline.
That gives 5L/100km.
Was riding alone with light luggage on rear seat

Found this pic in my archive - it is 550 K1 but I assume it is the same as yours

Just to be sure, this is how it is now, so you think I should move it even lower?

If the lever is out by one or more notch upwards on the spline, the lever can easily foul on the casing when changing up through the gears. Because there is not enough room for complete upward travel of the lever, it may not be engaging the gears correctly at first lift of the lever. As a simple experiment, remove lever from shaft, position lever nearer the ground on the spline and see if it makes any difference. It will may not feel a comfortable position for your foot but, temporarily, it is worth a try. Not sure why you haven't got dot on end of shift though, most strange.
Julie not sure if I understand you - I do not see how lever can foul on the casing... Found pic before I disassembled lever (but not sure if it was correct as there is missing dot on shaft and not sure if shifting was working fine as I did not tested it enough ) and after - how it is now. You can see I put it lower then it was. To me it is just shaft with notches that allows in principe lever to be adjusted according rider's preference so shall not normally create such issue. Maybe if someone has pic showing proper lever position on the shaft - I can test it.

Paul I got one from wemoto too just few days ago (Electrex)
Did not install it yet, but connection is very easy. Just remove old rectifier unit and regulator, connect new regulator into big connector from alternator and 2 more wires as in instruction sheet attached in package.
The "biggest problem" is to decide how to fix it into bike, case is hestsink, so will be hot during operation - take into consideration. Positions of holes does not fit old unit holes.
I tried to find good place in my K7 750, will need to fabricate some metallic plate-adaptor. Did not study yet on 550.

Thanks for the feedback
I did road test many times already when riding in my favorite track (uphill, many curves) - so full trottle, shut, full again on 2nd gear many times (believe me I was violent enough) no single issue, 2nd stayed engaged all the time. And as I said before, shifting on higher rpms is all ok.
Concerning lever travel - fact is that I dont have dot on shaft to know exalt position of lever (on lever dot is clearly visible), so I set to my best guess. Not sure if eventual shift by 1 tooth can cause this.
It simply behaves the way when i shift up that I feel something blocking lever to go up more. Either I keep it lifted all possible way up longer and it enegages (lever moves more up) or release it and do second lift to engage it correctly.
I'll open clutch anyway to check it.
Practical question here - is it enough to lay bike on left side to avoid draining oil?
