Why is my motorcycle's mpg lower now?

My motorcycle is about 5 months old and has around 1200 miles on it. When it was new it could go for about 136 miles on one tank of gas (not counting reserve). Now it only runs for about 124 miles per tank. It's not a big difference, I know, but why does


Yes, your motor has passed the break in point, and could show some loss, but you may also need your first valve adjustment, and break in service for the bike, that may part of whats causing the loss if you havent done it yet.
