Default gas mileage and valve question

what kind of gas mileage should I expect with my '03 700? I do some pretty aggressive driving and some cruising. also some short full throttle blasts. how many miles should I expect out of a tank? I rode some this past weekend and put about 20 miles on it and it looks like I used roughly a 1/4 of a tank. does anyone make good fuel gauges for it? lastly, how do I know when I should adjust my valves? mine has a little over 1500 miles on it with 260 some odd hours and I don't know if the valves have ever been adjusted. is it a simlpe job? I know how to adjust valves on a car but have never messed with a quad motor. thanks in advance

the manaul shop tell you how many miles/hrs before you need to service the valves. when i play hard on my 800 i loose fuel milage big time like down to 9 mpg and up to 16 +- riding it easy.
