I couldn't be sure if the XT is the same, just food for thought as it's been an ongoing issue for you.

On the other hand - I have had the exhaust checked and the result was very near to perfect. The garage who did it said it was as just a tiny tiny tad rich - nothing at all that can explain 20 % increase in fuel consume.
I guess since the exhaust is ok all things with engine, injection, valves, spark plug, air filter etc can be rules out. Have to start looking for something that make resistance to the bike while rolling. Its not brakes hanging, both wheels seem to spin fine. But the rear wheel bearings were changed just before the increase in fuel started...is there any chance it can be those?
