Tip#8 : Think Aero
Not that you'd do this every time you ride, but tucking reduces aerodynamic drag and increases fuel economy.
Aerodynamic drag has a serious effect on fuel economy, and pushing a higher profile shape through air will make your engine work harder.
If you're interested in short term gains, consider making a more compact shape behind your windshield; if that's too much of a bother, you might think about how your bike is configured, and make changes like removing saddlebags or other drag creating accessories.
