Finally got it Saturday, first green one in the country.
Got a hugger, seat cowl, and Micron cans with it.
What a beast!!
Love it.
The gear change is'nt that positive, but guess it will get better, and the fuel light keeps coming on early, within 100 -120 km of fill.
Anyone else have that problem from new?
What are you getting per tank before the light comes on?

When I go to fill it after the lights on, it takes not much, and to me seems well over half full.
Mind you, I've only ridden it 2 days and done a couple hundred km.

Nice bike! Good luck with it.
How about a picture from the side so we can get a better look at the Microns on it.

Looking good Mulcahy.

Mine gets 195 - 200k before the light comes on and take 13 litres to refill at that point. Thats around 15 - 15.3 km/litre
