Re: what's your gas milage, 80 mpg here quite happy

You have much good advice from some experienced riders. Take it easy, be careful.
The bike is just great right from the showroom so don't get worried about mods. Just ride and enjoy. Ride a lot of quiet country roads in the beginning. This is good for you and for the bike.
Change the oil every 3000 miles. On a new bike I changed mine at 1000, then 2000 miles later (at 3000) and will maintain the 3000 mile interval thereafter. I use 10-40wt synthetic oil, by the way.
