It's discussions like this one that allows us to combine our collective knowledge.

There are two, often unheard of, ways to rewind the odometer.

-Reset the trip meter to zero at each fill as you do. BUT the rider faces backwards while twisting his knob

Or

- get the tyres fitted with the directional arrows facing rearward i.e. fitted backwards

But NEVER do just one. Tardis and the improbability drive are based on this dynamic.

I use my eyes - you know those round things in your face.... thats how I look and see what level the gas is in my tank when I take the cap off. Kinda like the way you look where you put the gas nozzle when you fill it...

Yeah what a cock!

Don't forget to refill the headlight fluid when you put the nitrogen into your tyres. Also, a tweak by replacing the powerband you have with a red one will increase hp.

Since you're on this improvement streak, you can save more weight by drilling holes into your swing arm!

Harder than it sounds on the highway, trick is to swap the key from the ignition to the fuel cap without the steering lock coming on.

Colour is actually unimportant ... after many tests ... it was found you can have MOST colours. But the power band must be worn on the right hand.

Fuel consumption can be improved by fitting a rev counter off a bigger bike ... (it wont rev so high then)

I found replacing the black one with a smaller yellow one works alot better at long hours with constant work,
for some reason black ones just dont do anything.

I'm so fucked then, I have two trip meters....

Wow. Not sure you should be allowed to breed for the good of humanity.
