At 196 miles on the clock the light flickered then went off, at 201 miles it came on and did the same at 211 it stuck on, but if you go round a corner it went off again and then it took it a miles to settle in again. I filled up at 211 miles. Very impressive, rev counter still kept below 3000rpm so in reality you will not get this sort of mileage the majority of running around were on country lanes keeping the speed down to around 50/60mph.




That is impressive Ray, be interesting to see what milage you get after the running in period
Mind you is the tank capacity larger with the new tank? I seem to recall the original is only around 16.5 litre, or is it similar with the reserve if you know what I mean...I know what I mean anyway...

Seem to get a vibration through the bike when accelerating in top from 40 mph, it feels like the rear wheel is misaligned, and can feel it through the foot pegs, anyone else get this slight vibration, it does goes as the revs pick up.





I don't usually use the fifth gear below 60 mph. Don't know whether gear ratios are slightly different with the bigger bore engine...?
