You won't need the manual so keep it in a safe place at home. With 1500 miles I average about 45MPG combined driving. The best method for checking mileage is to divide your trip meter (which you reset upon fill up) by the amount of gas you fill up with. I try to top off every 120 miles or so. I don't like hitting the low fuel light and I'm ready to stretch by then anyway. The tires hold the road very well in the wet, but as previously stated common sense tells you to slow down a bit when riding in the rain. If someone wants you machine bad enough they will probably find a way to take it. Chains, locks and alarms all help keep honest people honest, but a criminal that has no regard for you, or your property will get it given enough time. The best security is out of sight and out of mind. My bikes are both kept in a garage and even then have disk brake locks and steering locks set at night. Keeping it insured at least puts you back in the saddle in the event of theft. Enjoy your new bike.
