Re: First time Rider and Owner
dvsdave, soon the ride home will be 20 or 30 miles with a StarBucks tossed in for good measure.

Re: First time Rider and Owner
Well, took the bike this morning to work. Got about halfway there, and it stalled on me. Huh... only 115 miles on it. I'd better switch to reserve. Go another 3 miles to get to the gas station, (uphill the whole way) and it stalls out on me only 150 yards from the station.
*SIGH* Parked the bike on a side street and walked in my boots to get a gas can and gas. Not a fun way to start the day. Thankfully, my boss just thought it was hilarious instead of being upset that I was late. |

Re: First time Rider and Owner
Hm, it shouldn't stall out on you after only 3 miles on reserve; reserve should take you at least 30 miles.
And a full tank should last more than 150 miles before hitting reserve. There could be something else going on, like dirt in the carburetor. Hope it cleans up by itself.

Re: First time Rider and Owner
To be honest, I'm not sure how close I can get to the top of the tank when I top it off, I might not have had a full tank.

Re: First time Rider and Owner
I've got a 2000, does the short side or the long side point to the position?
