[QUOTE="roger dodger, post: 1448813, member: 18173"] BBF1, I think you may be thinking too much about the bars. Ignore the first half of the tank. It's not accurate. Also, my first goal in buying a used bike would be to check out all the systems for maintenance, and remove extras that you don't need. Start by removing the PC111 and go back to stock. Eventually you could add Ivan's Flash for $350 or so. The saying goes ... 'Ride more ... worry less'. I suggest a full tank day ride of 200-300 miles and you and the bike can gel a little more. Watch for the miles after hitting 'reserve' and you may see 50 miles, and fill it with 5.5 gallons or so. I usually get 44 -45 mpg and still worry a little on reserve, so RIDE MORE. [/QUOTE]
