Default Excessive Fuel Consumption

Hi guys, I have just purchased a 2008 Ec250 with a fmf gnarly pipe it's a great bike a lot better than my old Yamaha ttr250.

Anyway I cleaned the carb when I brought it and it's running good apart from the fact it uses almost the whole 9.5 litre tank in about 40km or 3 hours of about half fire roads and half woods. Bearing in mind I'm not flogging it the whole way.
I only found this strange as my brothers kdx 200 only uses about 4.5 litres on the same ride.

The main jet is 175 and a 35 pilot not sure about the needle and float height.
This may be normal fuel consumption I'm just basing it off other forum posts and my brothers bike.

Thanks in advance
