Hey! Funny thing, well, I havent had to fuel it up just yet. Im down to 2 bars now. Definitely got the most mileage on the 3rd, 4th and 5th bars. It says Im averaging 38.5 on my screen. I also checked my tires recently and my front was like 36 and the back was about 33. So i filled them up. I...

I havent really looked in it really well when it got to the point of blinking. Just a glance. Ill keep an eye out next time I fill up and check the mileage. Im taking it easy on the bike so its kind of disheartening if it is. Thanks for replying

Interesting about putting it on the center stand. Id be surprised if Im getting 40. Even 30. Im being easy on the throttle. Im not riding it hard by any means. If you are getting 220 then your still only getting 30 mpg right? Do you think of you took the power commander out that it would get...

Haha, I filled up the tank to full last night only about 2 miles or so from home. I went to school today and back and thats it and lost 2 bars. I try to take it easy on the bike. I dont go very fast or rev it very high and I was trying to stay in 2nd or 3rd most the time. 3rd if I had a little...

Hi all, me again. Today I was riding and noticed I only went 5 miles before one of the bars dissapeared on the gas gauge. Theres only 10 bars I believe. If Im only getting 5 miles per bar than that means Im only getting 8-10 miles per gallon? Only 60 miles on a full tank around town vs others...

Darn, that sounds like something I need. I just checked and I lost a bar after only going 5 miles. Theres about 10 or so bars on the gas gauge. That means if Im getting 5 miles a bar than thats aweful. I should be able to go 300 miles but am only getting 50-60? I would be more than happy to...

Thank you sir! A lot of good advice and knowledge in that post for me to reference! It helps a ton! I have been riding vetween 4 & 6 k rpms lately at a lower gear. It definitely is more fun! Its not the best on gas though so I may do what you said. Someone else mentioned getting an Ivans reflash...

Thank you! I will do that. I wouldnt of known what to ask for so I appreciate it. And Ill see about the tire pressure. It seems good. I thi j its 40 38 right now. Ive been so busy with school I havent gotten much done but Ill try a little more pressure, even just to get better gas mileage

WFO? Wide f'n open? Thanks man, I appreciate it. Havent got the front wheel up just yet haha :)

I took this to heart and gave her a whirl. I see what you mean! ;) I like sticking between 4000-6000 rpm.

Have you rode a bike with one? What was it like? Im considering to do what you said after looking up Ivans. I feel like Im not getting the bestgas mileage right now. What kind of mpg can I expect with Ivans, do you know? Thank you!

Warning! TLDR skip to last paragraph where I ask my questions if you dont feel like reading through my long experience story. I appreciate any help and advice. Thank you all. Hi all, I just bought a 2006 FJR. I was on the fence about it for a few reasons. One being the weight, two being that Im...

Nice!!! Cant wait to see for myself! :p

Solid advice! I really want to get some of the crash bars youre talking about. I couldnt afford to fix the fairings if I dropped it. Thankyou for reaffirming about the crash bars!

Very sound advice. I appreciate it greatly. Im gonna look into the leg up system that sounds interesting. The part about the cables is good to consider. I am going soon to look at it. Im pretty sure Im gonna biybit because i have a bug for it haha. But maybe Ill sit on it and feel differently...
