I have two problems to discuss with y'all:

1)I topped up the tank the other day and went out on the highway for an extended run on my SM. I got about 105 kms when the bike had to be switched to reserve. Does anyone else have this problem with poor gas mileage? This is only my second season on this bike and have yet to work out the average rate of consumption but my previous America would usually get me around 180 kms before I had to switch over.

2) Everytime I switch from fuel to reserve the bike vapour locks and I have to sit on the side of the road with my thumb up my you know what for 5 - 10 minutes before the bike will fire up again. A plugged vent maybe...Anyone else have this problem?
