Hi all got a good one for ya, not broken in yet only 42 miles on bike. My fuel guage was at just under 3/4 tank , Hummmm? So I filled tank using 1 quart measuring cup, it took 1.75 gal to refill a 3.50 gal tank after 42 miles, the speedo and odo are correct checked that out when I first started riding. If my math is correct thats 24 MPG! yucccch!!! But the bike runs great?? low speed high speed cruise at 45 to 50 cracked it open once uphill till hit65 mph then backed off. runs fine.I filled the tank from empty so its 3.50 gal, no black smoke nothing?. I think I read a thread about missing main jet or main jet fell out , but if thats the case how could it run so good,  this ons got me? thanx for any help Poppajon...thought Id ask before tearing into it... |

Hi Barnie, my temp guage runs in the same range! 4 years sounds great, did you have to adjust the valve clearance during that time?.

Check your rear wheel to see if its true. hold a straight edge on a shock of solid frame member and close to the bead of the wheel , rotate wheel and note distance of gap as you rotate. if gap varies 1/16 to 1/4 inch or more you have a bent wheel...

sorry all the numbers on my keyboard dont work due to beer spill..
fourty miles on bike, runs well, but, is it normal for the cooling fan to go on an off at fifty mph, or any speed as i have noticed?
goes on and off at idle, which is normal.
bike never runs to hot according to temp guage.
I was thinking of adding some fins to the fairings to channel more air to the radiator...
any feedback would be cool... pop jon.
