    Not the lefty righty one.

    Just saw your post on the fuel gauge thread concerning running out of juice. From what google tells me your fuel capacity is 10 ltrs so from a full tank check how much you use when you fill up again against how far you have travelled, yup, I know your odometer is sulking but I'm sure that can be sorted. Once you work out your litres per 100k or k's per litre you have a gauge to work by. My bike has an 18 ltr tank & I fill up between 250 & 300 k's. I start to worry when it gets close to 300 but have never hit reserve.
    Yeah, i know this has all been said in previous posts but I have recently been in the same situation with a new bike & it's embarrassing spending more time to get my wallet out than it takes to fill, er, top up the bike.

    The awkward moment when I went in earlier in the week to the petrol station with the fellah (after all your comments) to fill it up to the right level and had the petrol station attendent have a huge rage at me cause I was under their "minimum delivery" amount. Was hilarious though, I have the ability to cry on demand when yelled at (like all women lol) and his manager walked out just as I burst into tears.

    Didn't have to pay my $4 petrol or whatever it was haha
