I was out on Sunday and filled up with the intention of completely emptying the tank. I went over to reserve at 341.4 km. Totally empty at 424.1 km. From Reserve 82.7 km.

1) Define reserve. If it's when the last brick starts flashing, that's about where mine hits it too.
2) My last tank fill was 207mi with 4.7 gal. Before we were staying above 100°, I was puting in 4.9gal.
3) Y'all must be haullin' ass. :D

Running in S mode with a passenger. Motorcycle is 2021 with 24k km No main (Motorway) roads. Speed up to 100-110 km/h..
Heading to Mainland Europe next month so needed the data.

1) Define reserve. If it's when the last brick starts flashing, that's about where mine hits it too.

As you say Sierra 1. Reserve is when the last brick starts flashing. and the mileometer starts counting from zero.. Cannot say how much fuel it took to fill as I was carrying 5lts and it was some 20 klms to the fuel station.

I’ve been wanting to change my license plate bulb to LED, finally got around to it today. (A #168 LED Sylvania bulb fits perfectly BTW). Anyway when I went to do this I discovered the OEM incandescent bulb was blown! I’ve no idea how long it’s been out but thought I’d mention it as something to check before you get pulled over for an equipment violation.

They are rougher riding and noisy, I run those and love them for their intended use but if I was riding pavement I definitely wouldn't run them.
BTW they get rougher as they wear and maybe even noisier, I just got use to them. LOL
I'm not 100% on this because I'm on my third set of Mitas, its been awhile but from what I remember my mileage dropped when I went to the Mitas from road tires.
They are a great dirt and load carrying tire, thus why I use them.

I just road on some Mitas E07 Dakars 7700 miles about 2000 of those miles we’re on dirt/mud, loved the tires. Had to replace the rear in Alasks and the only size I could get were 130 x 80 x 17. I like the narrow tread better, digs better on soft dirt/mud 622ED1B1-1BD7-464F-BD36-3DAFB698E0F3.jpegA50C692C-C103-4FC9-84B0-B4C420659A8C.jpeg

and corners better on tarmac. They allowed me to use their parking lot to pull my rear wheel off and put it back on after they change the tire out and balanced it. I probably could’ve got another 500 miles maybe 1000 if it wasn’t raining so much. The bike was heavily loaded, so I think the wear out of those tires was phenomenal.

OK, I understand that if a vehicle gets discontinued, aftermarket part companies will roll back production. But, considering that nobody seems to have skid plates for the T-12 available right now . . . . I'd think that I, as a manufacturer with the required assembly lines, would keep a number of the more popular items in stock. Yeah, I know, "supply line issues". But for skid plates?

I rode my bike today! First time in 3 months since before I had a total left knee replacement back in May. Boy have I missed that! No trouble supporting the bike, climbing on and off or dealing with stop and go traffic. I kinda wanted to test out a variety of scenarios. It’s still a little stiff sliding my left foot back so the balls of my foot are on the peg, but not painful. Resting the arch of my foot on the peg is no problem at all.

The bike fired right up after sitting all this time, in part I’m sure, due to the Scorpion LiFePO4 battery in there. Actually kinda startled me it fired so quick.

Congrats on getting back to riding. I know it feels good. Spent two straight months off a bike earlier this year after a leg injury.

Fitted grip puppies and took it out for a 100ish mile ride. Definitely helped but didn’t solve all the issue of my pinky going numb but it did take it a lot longer for it to happen and it wasn’t as severe.

For the cost that was a win.

My suspension is all out of sorts though. I found the suspension thread here and have made some adjustments after getting home yesterday. I plan to get a ride in today and bring my screw driver and book with me and see if I can get this thing riding better.

6 foot 5 and on the scale this morning at 242 pounds. I have the rear shock turned all the up, with six clicks of rebound. Anyone have any advice that doesn’t cost 1500 dollars? I am considering raising the rear with shorter dog bones, or raising the forks slightly. I am also working on dropping pounds myself down to the 220s but that’s going to take some time.

With the pinky deal i assume it's your throttle hand. Have a check to see the cables are sitting nicely where they go into the throttle housing. Keeping my fingers off the levers helps.
