What have you got covering the forks there?A balmy 11°C and blue skies. First run of the year. Was a bastard to start.
Hard cranking or just catching and stalling?
Just awesome.Took advantage of a sunny Saturday to go do some skids out in the Wairarapa with my girl.
376km and our first time to Flat point. I used the chance to bolt up the Rotopax and run the FTR tank dry, at 217km it coughed so I stopped and used the 7.2 litre reserve to get moving again. I'm happy with that range as this ride had all the riding conditions I would expect on my preferred routes. A safe 300km should be achievable even with gratuitous* use of the right hand on the gravel.
*Anything more than about 1/4 throttle
Low fuel warning came on at about 180km, so just short of 40km to empty. This section of the ride was fairly sedate so I wouldn't expect to get any further than that.Just awesome.
217 kms and then a cough is far more than I would have imagined.
I'm usually looking for fuel from 150kms and the most I've been brave enough to push it to is ~175kms where it was showing 'low fuel' on the dash.
I think the biggest fill I've managed so far is just shy of 12L so in theory there's just ove 1L in the tank at that point.
Good detail there, thank you.Low fuel warning came on at about 180km, so just short of 40km to empty. This section of the ride was fairly sedate so I wouldn't expect to get any further than that.
I can normally get to 200 before the low fuel warning but only when commuting and concentrating on being gentle.
With the price of oil set to imminently surge to $140 a barrel and beyond, a useful conversation to be having.Good detail there, thank you.
So 1/8th throttle will then become gratuitous??😬With the price of oil set to imminently surge to $140 a barrel and beyond, a useful conversation to be having.
Somehow, the italics help me feel your pain.About 33 miles to Indian Motorcycles of OKC to drop off bike for TOCE exhaust install before snow storm. 44 degrees - fing cold w.out a fairing! Spoiled by sport bikes, Harley and Busa. Didn't know how to turn on heated grips. LMAO!
It really isn't. Don't do it - it's a flat tracker. If you ride in low single figure temperatures you're going to freeze dry your testicles whatever.Decided a fairing - cafe style - is must have.
