BC,

You're welcome!

You'll probably be surprised how consistent your bike is for hitting the "thirsty" level. My Low Fuel lamp comes on within 5 miles of the same distance just abouit every time.

Good luck, and ride safe!

Letting someone ride your bike leads to watching someone drop your bike. That leads to having to listen to them swearing they'll pay to fix it while knowing they won't. That leads to you having to stand there and nod your head in sympathy, while you listen to their crap while all you want to do is kick the livin' sh*t out of them. This is where you learn the cardinal rule...

"friends don't ask friends to ride their Motorcycles..."
