[QUOTE="FJRBluesman, post: 1120330, member: 5903"] Just a few words to others on maintaining your ride and understanding its health. Sam does a good thing here and keeps track of his mileage. This is one of many indicators to tell if something is possibly wrong with the bike when all else seems fine. Just like reading plugs, etc, a drop in mileage can indicate problems of many sorts that one would need to be trouble shoot to figure out. The main thing here is it's telling you something is possibly wrong. Pay attention to it. If you don't track your mileage you should. Granted riding style varies and so will mileage. If you do commute for example and are pretty consistent in speed etc, you have a steady and reliable health indicator in mileage. On the flip side one tank of off mileage won't say much due to variability in riding etc. But a constant lower mileage after many months of steady 38-42 (just an example of mileage, YMMV) mpg should get your attention. Thanks for the input Sam! [/QUOTE]
